[gore warning]
*he seems to speaking through the blood on his face, as it shifts, you can read "yes, i am", This soulless body is supposedly what was under all that darkness that you removed from his body, he wanted you to remove it after all. You can hear weak sounds coming from his "voice". All the darkness that protected his body while making it hurt at the same time constantly, is now off of his body and cant be put back on. It was what kept his body from dusting while he took impact from fights, and now all those wounds are finally revealed.
