Those words made him feel strangely icy, when they should have been a comfort. He clenched his fists tightly, but it didn't stop him from shaking. The tears he'd fought back up until then spilled now, running down his cheek. They should have been a comfort, but they weren't.

"Y-You're lying," he whispered, and he wasn't looking at Karkat anymore, he was staring down at his lap, as tears dripped onto the back of his hand.

In the movies, and, th-the books. But it's a lie..." He brought his hands up and wiped furiously at his eyes. "I'm s-sorry for whatever I did," he said, turning his face to look up at Karkat again, as he continued wiping at his tears. "S-So sorry, because I really didn't, m-mean to."
