[ He doesn't reply right away. This is not an easy thing to talk about, even now, and Grey generally doesn't. People generally don't ask.

It's not a secret, though. He explains as briefly as he can. ]

he would have killed curtis
i stopped him . i fought him

i wanted to beat him so that curtis would be safe
but he was stronger than me
he pinned me
and put the knife in my chest
and i died there .

i dont know what happened to curtis
i dont know if he lived . i hope so

but i would do it again . to save him
he was the important one .
