The people I care about factor into every decision I make. I told you that before, didn't I? I'm not... this isn't me taking a stand in front of you, or anything like that. But I know the worst capabilities of Gilgamesh, any Gilgamesh, and I know I need to... make contingencies against it. This Gilgamesh slept in repose for thousands of years in a sea of humanities sins, on the Far Side of the Moon Cell. He... before he came here, he sacrificed probably nine-tenths of his treasury, to keep the 'me' in his world from being deleted. ...erased from existence, sorry.
[It's not everything, but it's a key factor. He had sacrificed so much to save her, only to awaken in a world where she was wary and cold.]
As his acknowledged Master, contracted or not, I have a duty to curb his darker impulses before he goes the way of the other self he so disdains for his fallen state. His desire for my good regard is one thing, but I now have less... malleable options. And... I don't know what your feelings might be, in exact detail. But I wanted to extend the offer, even if you don't need or want it.
