You left me in there, shut away from anything and anyone except Bob and Elle's tender attentions. The lot of you could have stood up to Kaito, or you could at least have visited me in my exile. Is it any wonder I'm cross with you, for that? You tried to pretend I never even existed, forgotten and reviled. Your pride will recover. You're strong enough to pull back from this. I lost thirty years. Perhaps that doesn't seem like much given my lifespan, but I assure you, it is. You all would have left me there for eternity if Peter hadn't come along.
And yet nothing you needed was accomplished, was it? Where are you and your children and Arthur's name now, Angela? Everything Nathan gained he has lost, and from what I hear on the news, you could lose him entirely. I could...but you'll never let me near him, will you? Or if I tried, would you throw me back there in your gratitude? As for Peter, Bob nearly broke him. It took me months to get him back in fighting form, into caring again. Almost cute? Is it so far from belief to think that I might care for your son, as a person, beyond what I needed him for?
Maury is worthless. Bob will be dead soon enough, for what he did to me, to Elle, and what he set on Nathan. Don't think I'll let him survive. He signed his own death warrant long ago and has used up any reprieves. Arthur...I had nothing to do with your loss of him, no matter what came before. That will leave just us, Angela. I will not apologize for taking Kaito and Victoria--not after what they set in motion against me. I am not sorry. But I have left you alive.

Make of that what you will.
