Titus in “Reckoning”

[to Batiatus] You have caused much heartache. Never heeding my words. Fighting me at every turn, your ambition the bolt hurled against my wishes. And here is where it has led. Two men at constant odds. Mired in the ruins of what might have been. Ruins I aided in creation. I wanted you to join me here, to see them buried. You are my son, Quintus. And I will always love you. No matter the path you take.
