Apollo was like my son. When he died, part of me died. But now you're the one that's gonna keep his spirit alive. You're the one that's gonna make sure that he didn't die for nothing. Now you're gonna have to go worse. Worse than any nightmare that you ever dreamed. But in the end, I know you'll be the one standing.
