You will create of me a thing of spite, and I beg you again – if you care for me at all – to let me cease this terrible journey.’ ‘I’ll not give you permission to kill yourself, Mhybe. If it must be hate that fuels you, so be it. You are under the care – the guardianship – of the Tiste Andii, now.’
