Catherine and Vincent in “Terrible Savior”

I had to come. I had to see you. I was afraid—

I know.

You didn't come. I called. I banged on the pipes. You never came.

I could feel your fear, Catherine. Even now, I frighten you.

You taught me to face my fears, always, Vincent. Tell me—

What shall I tell you? That I am not this shadow, this man-monster that you hunt? Must you hear the words before you trust? Hear them then, it is not me. Catherine, I would never hurt you. [Catherine takes an involuntary step backwards]

No, Vincent, no.... I did not mean to—

To pull away? I know. I know your heart, Catherine, but sometimes the words that are not spoken are the truest words of all. [barely audible]... they hurt.

What are you saying?

We both know what these hands can do, have done. Catherine, if your heart does not trust, then no words I could speak could help.
