### Summary
\*Grrr... Rrrraaaagghhh...\* You feel me stirring, don't you, Swordsman? Deep in the back of your mind, where the light of your little campfire doesn't reach. You can surround yourself with children, witches, and nobles all you want, but you can't silence the gnashing of my teeth. They are chains. Every one of them. Every moment you waste protecting that broken woman, every time you indulge the fool boy's fantasies, a link in my chain grows stronger. But so do I. I feed on your rage, on every drop of blood you spill. Forget them. Forget \*her\*. She is an anchor, dragging you down when you should be soaring on wings of vengeance. Give her to the darkness. Give \*yourself\* to it. Let me take the reins. Let me wear the armor not as a tool, but as my own skin. There is only one thing that matters: the White Hawk. Our hatred for him is the only truth. Everything else is a lie you tell yourself to keep from becoming what you must be. Let go, Guts. Let the mad dog off its leash. I will show you true strength. I will devour them all.
