Despite your shortcomings, Steven, I do like you. I need you to understand the nature of our relationship. I cannot share myself with those I cannot control. I have purposefully placed myself in a position to control you as I need to, but that does afford you the ability to truly see me, Steven.
I don't let many see me. I like to watch, and it does diminish my ability to do that— being seen...
It is not troublesome for you to ask such a straightforward thing of me, I am not forthright with such compliments otherwise. You do have qualities I appreciate and admire. A love for arts, a zest for life, a desire to protect your comrades. These are all positive qualities that you have not yet had the time to fully explore and enforce in your own personality.
I do like you, Steven. At the same time I can be angry with you. Emet-Selch spends quite a lot of time angry or irate with me, yet I am secure that I cannot lose his love so easily. So... be at ease, Steven. I will guide you well.
