I should not have kept Hayley from you and Hope. Especially after I was sure it was not the Mares playing a tricks on us--to make such an announcement only to have it be an illusion?
I should not have stayed away from either of you either. There was never time after getting my memory back to process the fact I literally compelled all of you away. We had to handle Greta's followers...the Hollow resurgence in Hope, her almost dying...and then...us. I suppose I am dealing with the deeply rooted guilt and shame that I deserve. I cannot help but think, brother, that had I not compelled you all away, thinks would have, could have, been so much difference.
I don't deserve your forgiveness, or Hope's, but I'm asking for it. I am so sorry, Niklaus.
An incredible feat to make this about yourself. And here I thought I was the self-aggrandizer.
Let me make this perfectly clear to you. Whatever ridiculous and horse-beating pity you've found yourself wading through means nothing to me nor to the suffering you've inflicted on my daughter.( what actually matters to him. )
To say nothing of the fact that you put Hayley into the hands of our enemies. I don't need to ask if death had addled your mind, because clearly it has. Nor do I need to consider that all we've sacrificed to save our family meant naught to you, since you didn't think it prudent to breathe a word to me.

Keep your apologies.
