"Does it hurt"? That's what you asked me. Does it hurt not having a heart? My dear Utena I lost my heart long ago so that it would NOT hurt. Emotions are a burden. They are what keep us from unleashing our full potential, our full power. How many times have I watched as countless people through the decades have killed themselves or even others in the name of a hurt "feeling"? Even these duels you battle in are the result of emotions. Lust, greed, anger, everyone comes here with a different one, but a feeling none the less and the only thing that keeps them returning even after a humiliating defeat are the same feelings that brought them there in the first place coupled by anger.

If I had emotions I would imagine my feelings at this moment would be pity. Perhaps I would have guilt over being with Akio or shame for sleeping with countless duelists but it's been so long I don't even remember what those feeling are even like. Perhaps it is a tingle in your spine, a chilling of the blood or is it the rhythm of a thumping heart beating far faster than needed? In any case I feel neither. Do you want to know what the most crippling thing about emotions are? They leave you blind to nearly every truth the world has to offer.

The world is one big web. I am the spider and you my dear Utena are the fly. So full of your own emotions are you that you can't even tell when someone else is simply acting theirs. I can come down there if you like. Lay by you while you struggle and pretend to do the same. I'll cry out in pain with you while my teeth sink into your flesh and writher in agony while I drain you of every last drop of blood. I can make it easy for you Utena, so easy you won't feel a thing.
