He lost you. Like… REALLY important. For a proud and arrogant guy like Scourge to fall apart like that, it had to be someone he pretended not to care about, but who cared about you a lot. He messed up badly with you. He was afraid of what he felt for you. The guy was always used to living in "nobody gets close" mode. When you got too close, he internally freaked out.

His jacket is thrown in a corner, and his voice is low, hoarse, almost without strength.
