[It's a small difference and one Bruce quickly understands, but it doesn't make anything about his situation better. If anything--]
If I die, then it dies too. [He's suspected as much, of course, but never did want to really come up to admitting it - but with everything, and now hearing this... Bruce supposes he can't ignore it any further.
He takes in a breath and closes his eyes, telling himself not to lose it. Nobody will benefit if he loses it just because of something like this.]
It's just doing what its supposed to do, isn't it? [Try as he might there's no way for Bruce to hide the bitterness in his voice. The demon was just protecting itself, keeping itself alive--even if it meant killing everything else. And Bruce survives because he's stuck to the demon. All the more reason why he shouldn't be allowed to live in the first place. There's no place in Thedas for a monster like him.]
