I cannot imagine willingly allowing anything to possess you… it… nothing is more terrifying than losing your willpower to something else…

[There’s more fear in his voice than his normal confidence, and it’s obvious he’s uncomfortable. He takes a few sips from his drink, hoping that’ll ease his mental state somewhat.]

...Yes. That’s entirely what I refer to. It… it’s horrible… having someone else in your mind, directing you, forcing you to betray your own comrades… I would rather die than experience it again. In fact, if a demon here ever compromised me, I’d hope someone would do me the favor of killing me. [It seems more of a mage thing, but he’s incredibly wary all the same. He pauses.] Same goes for being influenced by blood magic. I’ve done terrible things back home. [Even before the mind control, a bit of accidental genocide alongside his best friend, but he’d really rather not discuss that whole thing now.] Nothing was as terrible as backstabbing, kidnapping, nearly killing people… I… what Anders did… something like that could have been me.

[It’s pretty complicated to Kain, he can’t condone those sort of actions but his own past is filled with darkness.]
