"I don't like it. I don't want to do it."

He didn't care if it made him soft or a coward or a fairy. Whatever it made him, he didn't care. He just didn't want to give Barty any power, any leverage, any way of being in his life and he hated Gene so deeply for making him having to do that. Moving on and living well was good revenge, sure, but like that would happen for him. He wanted avoidance, not reconciliation. "I bloody hate you."
