[ He wants to claw D open, in that moment. The schism between his wishes and reality parts like a veil drawn back from his eyes, revealing to him the true nature of the individual before him — it's D, it's not Anubis. And then his mind slips again. What if D is Anubis? Anubis doesn't remember him, Anubis was stripped of their shared memories and twisted around Osiris's fingers so thoroughly that this, too, could be part of it. He's missing something, those critical memories, and Kenos ( the Oracle ) has provided Set with the means to return it to him.
Yima understood. She, too, had lost children. Wanted nothing more than to have them back, and her deep pain would always resonate with Set, who truly could destroy his world in order to free his child from Osiris's grasp. It is that child and their shared promise that keeps him on the path of Meridian, and right now... D is refuting it. He doesn't remember their promise, he can't wait for Set to finish his atonement because he won't be there. ]
She's given me more than you know. [ Even though he loathes her for her inconsiderate love, he cannot deny that Yima gave him strange freedoms and wisdom in spite of his adherence to Meridian. She's waiting for him, and he's promised himself to her if he fails. He can't fail right now. He tries to wrench D forward, hand closing around his wrist and the weight of his bicep, stepping back through the doorway and into the house. He'll drag him if need be.

I can fix this. I need to fix this. I don't need her to give me anything, Kenos supplied it all! You came here, I have your soul — [ well, parts of it; not a shard, just the ba, ka, ib, and shut ] — and I know how to manipulate a soul!
WHY DID YOU DO THIS!!!!!!!
