[He almost pulls away. He does pull one hand away, mostly so he can gesture.]
I had the godsdamned gnosis, you know. It was mine, five hundred years too late. But then the Traveler and Buer decided the Akademyia wasn't allowed to make me into the god I should have been and took it from me.
[He scoffs.]
It's all her fault. If she'd just given me the gnosis like I was supposed to have when I was supposed to have it, none of it would happened! Tatarasuna would have been fine, I never would have met those humans, and no one would have died. And the worst part is? She doesn't even remember me, because I erased myself from Iriminsul, so I can't even do anything. Assuming she remembered me in the first place. Is that what you wanted to hear, Barbatos?
[He's on edge thanks to the damn puppet, and somehow Venti urging him on just. Broke the dam.]
