1. you've bitten every hand that has ever reached for you because pain is all you've ever known them to be capable of, and it's a lesson you won't suffer twice

2. they were warned not to stick their fingers through the bars of your cage, but not only did they not listen, they went and opened it up with their clever, gentle hands that not even your sharp teeth and terrible claws could deter from showing you what kindness could feel like, and crossed over the threshold to stand inside/on your side/by your side/all of the above

3. the difference between setting something free and setting something loose is a matter of definition

4. the definition of a monster depends entirely on where you're standing

We used to play outside his office. I think because we wanted him to hear. And he would come out and he was so terrifying. He’d come out and he’d yell at us to be quiet. What he was doing in there was so important. We couldn’t conceive of what it was. You know, presidents, and kings, and queens, and diplomats, and prime ministers, and world bankers.

One of my favorite things about Michael's sad little speech is that little Laugh/gasp thing. I like to think of it as a laugh as "A Oh God why did I think I could do anything?" kind of laugh. "They thought I was you" and why did he think they wouldnt? Why did he think he was going to just storm in there and fix everything? Now with his attempt to be a hero his attempt to be something more than the YOU they thought he was, Michael has doomed himself to a fate worse than death. And isn't it all so funny after all the shit Michael's gone through to die pitifully in a puddle of his own blood, gasping with lungs that are no longer there?

And now stuck in that pitiful broken body all that's left for him to do is find William. Michael ruined any chance of being anything other than that YOU. He can never grow old never have kids never live his own life. He can never move past Michael Afton the boy who killed his own brother because he thought it would be funny prank to put him in a bear's mouth...

catharsis of punishment this catharsis of forgiveness that. what about the catharsis of it finally being acknowledged that it wasn't your fault. the catharsis of being relieved of the burden of guilt that never should have been yours to carry.
