"Wife… please stay. I really don't know what to do without you. I don't know what I did wrong!" Clarke begged in Gaius' feet. 

He was wearing the majestic Superbman robe, but he was begging on the ground, hoping that Gaius would forgive and take him back. 

"I don't know what to do, Wife. I don't know how to live without you!" 

"You know how to live without me, Clarke," Gaius replied with pity in his eyes, but he didn't budge even an inch. 

"H—How?! I am just an alien in this world! I found you, and you gave me a way to live other than being a killing machine! Superbman without you is just a killing machine, a monster!" Clarke's plea sounded so pitiful.

Gaius finally moved and crouched to Clarke's eye level. He stared at Clarke dead in his eyes and nodded, "Yes, my dear, you're a killing machine. You're a monster who destroyed my life. So please go away because I hate you. I hate an ugly monster like you."
