He hated himself.
He hated himself for being so selfish. So naive.
He had trapped himself, and everyone else.
He had tethered their souls to the very planet.
He had kept their lives constantly looping, when the world died, another one came up from the ashes.
The same souls.
The same people.
Different fates.
It would go on forever.
He couldn't reverse it.
He hated himself.
Because he was despicable.
He had forced them into it, against their will.
He could never forgive himself for it.
