"That thing would have torn you apart if you'd been there any earlier, Pete. No way in hell I'd stand by and watch that happen to my kid." He stopped trying to back away, but he had a tough time meeting Peter's eyes. "You were exactly where you were supposed to be, exactly when you were supposed to be there. But I would have given anything to spare you what you saw."
He sighed. It would have seemed gruff to anyone who didn't know the old New Yorker, but he was just weary. "Then you'll have to think of a different way to contain me. You're a smart kid. Figure it out. And if you can't, don't feel too bad about it, all right? You're too young to live the rest of your life swimmin' in regrets."
The giant arachnid body shuddered and he grimaced. "There's more. You're in danger. The thing that did this to me is still out there, and it's going to make more monsters out of innocent souls."
Orihime blinked, and her brow furrowed. He was transformed...?
"And it's gonna come for you, Pete. It's no coincidence that it tracked me down, you're the real target here. Whatever power your soul's got, it wants it."
