« I whish I had more time to talk. Well, I have not « more time », so I'll do with what I have. Which means… 5 minutes ? Maybe 6. Dunno. Don't care, it'll be enough. I never meant to hurt you, Hiccup : I guess I was just following the majority, which was about putting you away. I won't say I'm sorry, precisely because I am and I know it won't suit you ; I will not giving you back every single thing we stole from you. So, no, I won't say it, and I do apologize if you were waiting for excuses. I want to say… Well, I really want you to know that I like you. Actually, more than I should. But that's not the point, here. I just want to explain why everyone behaved like jerk with you : I guess my explanations won't make pain disappear but… I want you to know them. Well, it was 3 year ago : it was winter – you know how much I love the season ? Ya, you do – and it was snowing. Since days. That was wonderful, so… white ! I was with my little sister. Her name was Emma ; she was fabulous, best little sister in the whole world. We went on a frozen lake, to ice skating. No one was there, just us both. And she fell. Just like that. You once asked me why I've got scars on my back and my middle : they came from that day. I tried to save her, while she was drowning, while she was becoming frozen. I tried. God, I tried so hard : I nearly fell myself. I had my half body in the water : it was so cold and I didn't care. The ice was tearing my flesh, cutting it but I did not care. I wanted to save her. I needed to save her. She was my so loved 8 years old little sister… This day, because I've decided to do such a dangerous thing, she died. I almost did. Someone found me when I was lying down, letting myself slowly die on the lake. : I was frozen. My body shook, I did not feel it anymore. I couldn't move or even open my eyes. I fell asleep as I was praying for dying. The man brought me to hospital, where I was into a deep coma. I woke up 4 months later. Since then, I became cold and my hair stood white as ice ; there was a pain which never left me. I finally went back to school where I found my friends : none of them mentionned Emma ; they all pretended nothing happened. It made me suffering more : I needed to be realistic, ou know ? I needed to remember that my sister died and I could'nt save her. And you arrived in town : you knew about Emma's death, because your father was a friend of my dad. And you begin to talk about it ; you just felt concerned. And everyone began to hate you ; to behave like if you did not exist. It was to protect me from your words, while I wasn't needy. But you know them… They are marvellous friends, they always care. Sometimes too much. So, they hold me away from you, since long weeks. They didn't know our families know each other. At the begining, I kinda ignore you because I thought you didn't like me and… I confess, I also thought you were a dick. After a while, my dad told me about your car crash. Your leg. And your mother's death in that accident you were kinda responsible of. And I suddenly realize you were like me : we both lost someone we loved. We could'nt save them. So, why were we hated each other ? It was insane… Aster told me this morning they wanted to keep me away from you. I finally got it. So, I've decided to talk to you but you thought I was making fun of you. I was not, Hiccup. I swear I was not. I hope you understand now you have the whole explanation. Do you ?
- Time's up. Since 8 minutes, Jack. I think I would have stopped you if I did not understand, or wanted to.
