They already know. We wouldn't be in hell if they didn't know.
[Every dirty detail, every ugly part of themselves they tried to hide. Even from themselves.
But he can't argue the rest of that. He just sits for a moment dwelling in the pain.]
One tiny thing. One small thing that's real and if it doesn't work, then I won't ask for more. There won't be a point then anyway. In exchange, to make it fair, I'll give something that's as hard for me to give as this is for you. Something big, something... it would kill me to talk about. And so, even if I did betray you, you'd be able to get back at me much worse. And you'll know it's true because we'll stop hurting for a moment. Does that sound like something you could do?
