He curls up with Nate, closing his eyes. Justice agrees with Nate for one of the first times, but Anders cannot. It would be nice if he could. If he could simply stop putting so many people at risk with the rituals, but that would put even more at risk in other ways. It's become more and more clear that it's only a matter of time before Justice takes control and someone gets seriously hurt.

Justice despises the distraction Nate has become, and feels that the archer's one of the driving forces for Anders pursuing these rituals. That someone could easily be Nate and it terrifies Anders.

"If it costs me my life, at least I've not lost control. I'll go out as myself. I know it's not a comfort to you, but it means so much to me."
