Not mine.
"Koz? Are you okay?" Sandy asked, putting his hand on his husband's shoulder.
"I did it. I caused Aster to attack Sophie," Koz whispered, looking up at Sandy. "I caused him to attack the girl he watched grow up, he practially raised her. She's practially his daugther. He would have killed her if he had been any deeper."
"Koz, it's not your fault. You weren't yourself. You weren't General Kozmotis Pitchner, hero of the Golden Age. You weren't the man I love, the man I married, the man I raised Serapina with. You were posessed by Fearlings. That wasn't you," Sandy said, "Koz, look at me."
Koz slowly turned to face Sandy. "That wasn't you Koz. You are sweet, you are caring, you are kind, you are a Guardian," Sandy said, kissing Koz to prove each point. "You can't blame yourself for what you did as Pitch. That was then, this is now, and we have our whole future ahead of us. Forget Pitch, forget Nightmares. Forget everything but right here, right now."
