"I can't do it. I can't do what you want me to do, Micah. I can't join you on your journey to the apex of Hell. I am sorry. However, I will do my utmost to help you in any way I can, even if I have lost most of my power and memories."
Pride's answer shocked Micah into speechlessness. Micah just stared straight at Pride for several awkwardly long moments as Pride waited for Micah to say something. He was even slightly prepared for Micah to yell or go back on his word and storm out. As more time passed, Pride only grew even more worried about what Micah would do when his face would finally snap back into motion.
But unlike Pride's worries, Micah was, after quickly getting over his shock, mulling over Pride's words.
"You 'can't'? As in, you don't want to, and thus you can't? Or is it because you actually can not regain your strength anymore?"
