"Finish what you start, begin what you end."
It would be much easier to divide that into parts, wouldn't it?
"Finish what you start."
I guess finishing what I started is how I got into this entire mess. I started our afflictions. I made Al do something he didn't want to do, and what happened then?
Madness.
I want to finish his pain. I want to end the time he's spent in that suit of armor. Why? I guess there's a selfish reason behind it. Every time I look at him, my heart sinks a little. The guilt seeps into my being a little bit more.
Somehow, I'll finish what I started. No matter what.
"Begin what you end."
I basically ended Al's life- as a normal child, at the very least. He can't do the things that make people human. He can't cry, or feel, or smell. Al used to be able to do all those things- I ended that era in his life.
This time, I'm trying to begin his life again. Bring him back to normal.
Begin what I ended.
