[Carlisle knows the weight of not wanting to let others down, especially those who are no longer around. He has carried the burden of the Longinmouth name his entire life, and as the last of his line, it will die with him -- a final disappointment to his family, and one he will never be able to apologize for. The loss is frustrating even on its best days, and maddening on its worst.
But his family has been gone for some time -- they feel distant, disconnected, literally worlds away. He cannot imagine such a burden if it were his lover instead, or even a friend like Rey herself. Amends must be made when they can... before it is too late.]
I want to help you, but... I need to figure out a way to do this, if it is all right. And speak to someone first. Let them know what I will be doing, in case something should go wrong. Will she be all right for that long?
[Demons are hardy, he knows, but she is unlike the demons from his world. Perhaps there is a difference.]
