"You're nothing but a filthy insect that crawled into my world and dared to steal what belongs to me!"
"Cassel is mine!"
"He has always been mine!"
"And you?"
"You're just an insignificant extra who had no right to interfere with my story!"
"Rosalia..."

"I'll never forgive you."
"I'll make you regret everything."
