( This conversation does nudge out that idea that's been in the back of his mind. "There are lots of us, these so called monsters, here. Many of them are kind..."
But what about those who aren't kind? He has experience with his monsters -- the monster he is -- but what other monsters are there here, truly? What capabilities do they have, and how much trouble will they offer? )
I don't have to run. ( Half repeating, half agreeing. If only that were the only thing on his mind. The main thought: but I would rather run and be with my family than be safe and without them. Except he now circles around another idea, suddenly even more guilty about his selfishness. His sister, Cotton...they may still be wanted fugitives, but he's the main problem. What if his absence means they don't have to run either? )
Maybe...maybe I should be here. ( Wight looks down at the hand that is holding his. What a weirdly nostalgic gesture. If there is a world filled with monsters, isn't that what he deserves the most? To be with his own kind, as much as he wishes he wasn't one? ) Maybe that's what is best after all.
