That's one hell of an admission, and the fact that Henry almost sounds like he feels bad about it carries some weight. He wonders if there's going to be any salvaging this. Any of it. Sprezzatura, Tsuchigumo... well, Tsuchigumo can get fucked for all he cares, but Sprezzatura. He may not have liked her β and frankly whether he still hates her or not is something he's going to have to figure out β but she was Henry's friend. One of the few he had.
It was never his goal to take that away from him, and he somehow managed it anyway. It really is clear he doesn't understand just how central he is to Henry's everything. How, without him, he was willing to burn every bridge, destroy everything and everyone in his path. It's frightening, the scale of it, the weight.
And yet he so selfishly indulges in it. Lets the noose wind tighter until one of them cannot hope to exist without the other. ]
