He shook his head and took a deep sigh. "I'm sorry about that, but I had reason. I was leaving, and I didn't want you missing out on something because of my being gone. Now, I think would be a good time to tell
you exactly why I left. I left because someone was threatening to kill me, and those I cared for. You were going to be a main target. Now, I know, that the threat was the beginning of the shift murders. I've been tracking down
the one who threatened me; threatened you. I haven't found him yet, and I came across this island. Seems the
perfect place, seeing as everyone here has a power of some sort. I wasn't trying to make you hate me, I was
trying to protect you." He said, looking her in the eye the whole speech. He wasn't about to let this chance fly out of the window.
