For all your noble deeds these past days, you lack that quality which makes true heroes. That which your brother walked through fire to learn. You lack humility. And without humility... Yes, you may change. You may change, and change, and change, like a vain fool trying different armors to see which gleams brightest, while the battle goes on without him. You may change. But you will never grow.
