Smother me with pillows and kindness, in which I have never seen
Please slit my perfect throat with the knife that I gave you
Hearing the Voice so blatantly admit she could kill all the Ascended whenever she wanted reminded Sam of the conversation he'd had with Arialla, about the Gods and their different morals to humans, whether they could feel empathy with mortals they controlled. She was right though, that she had never suggested it.
That Wessex had apparently also complained about her free will came as a surprise; she had always seemed so endlessly loyal Sam had assumed she never dared to ask questions.
Despite everything that had happened, all he had learnt and grown and convinced himself he didn't need the family...The Voice's words stung. And when Sam thought of the inevitable death awaiting him, spending that year weak and unsure and running from his old 'family', no way out of it...he knew there would be people disappointed in him (not least himself), but he had to ask:
"..I..is there a way I cou-could come back? I don't...I don't want my o-old body back, the one I as..asked for when I was 16. But...every-everything else? What would I hav-have to do?"

When I told you "I love you" in my home
Just stab me in the back
