No, no, no, no. What is he to do? Simply accept Felih's undeserved affections, knowing all he has done? Is he meant to simply confess his crimes and act as though he is a man almost two thousand years younger? Forget his goal? Still the energy around him grows, and he is consciously aware of it, considering if it would be best to force Felih back and hide behind his barrier once more.
"Did you even think for a moment it was me beneath the cowl?" the Exarch counters. "This was no act. My secrets shall remain secret, no matter how I-" A pause, as the pain of speaking hits him and he has to take a moment to push through. "Do not press me. All I ask of you is to fulfill my dearest wish and help this world. Save our home. That is all. I cannot be who you want me to be."
Then he can finally stop this madness and die at peace.
