I'm sorry, but I had to be certain that things otherwise impossible were enabled by this apparently hypnotic system. I took nothing more and nothing less than your very name.

[His apology is the only outward expression of his pangs of guilt he allows, though. After all, the only thing really worth being ashamed of would be any accidental harm he might have caused Kay; taking her name is just a temporary inconvenience inflicted in the name of the truth, and one he made certain would remain nothing more than that.]
