[Just gotta make him really brood over all this shit, huh, Emmanuel? Won't let him just stumble into any part of this situation with the excuse that he acted without thinking it through?
Emmanuel may not notice since he's got to pay attention to the road, but Set really does look troubled as he considers his answer.]
Osiris... he's always held out hope for me. For the longest time I told myself that it was unfair for him to put conditions on his acceptance of who I was, family should just love each other no matter what, but - I don't even understand how I rationalized that to myself anymore. I fucking killed him. Brutally.
[There's a slight tremor in Set's voice now. He can't get rid of it, no matter how roughly he clears his throat.]
It's because I've been such a fucking monster that I want him to know... that I understand now. Why I had to earn it. Why I never did. How I just made things worse any time I did anything. After so many centuries and millennia, I just hope it'll ease his mind enough to make up for the shock of seeing me.
