...No, no! Of course, I miss you that way. I even said as much! But I want to see if it goes deeper. And for that...I'll need to kill someone.

[And a beat.]

And obviously I don't want to kill you! Even if it isn't permanent. So I'll go for the next best thing, and go with someone else. If I miss them when I kill them, then that's better for us, isn't it?
