Don't you? Has anyone ever actually believed in your abilities? [Schuldig's voice is a sadistic purr.] It's understandable why they wouldn't. It seems like most of your career has been defined by getting shown up by a man in costume...or spending quality time in insane asylums. Not markers of success.

And now this, with Ema - it couldn't be clearer proof that you've gone your entire life without learning anything...or at least anything important. Every time you've really wanted love and respect, you've personally ensured you don't deserve it. You whine for what you've never earned.

But you can't lie to me, even less than you can lie to yourself. And since every trick in your arsenal involves cleverly concealing the truth...you're useless against me.
