Yeah, Zelgadis didn't think how short-sighted was to a blind man. "You didn't spend that much time interacting with Gourry Gabriev, did you?"

"I don't know either. I don't know how much of what you did to me was because you had a piece of Shabranigdu inside you, and how much is because you're just an asshole. I don't even know if that's a meaningful question. Was the 'real' Rezo the man who raised me or the one who decided his grandson made an ideal test subject before he tried to use chimerism on himself?"

That was far more than Zelgadis had meant to say. Because it was dealing with the fact that things would be so much easier if Rezo was a stranger, and Zelgadis could just hate him, without feeling betrayed by the grandfather he'd loved and admired.
