I suppose I'm hoping that perhaps one day, someone will love and respect me in return. I don't often get that feeling, I think lately since everything with Arkham and all the unpleasantness last year, I have been a little blindsided by feelings.
I don't enjoy being alone, my dear Ed. Nor do I enjoy being unloved. I find myself craving both company and love lately.
It's not the same as being loved by one. Just one person who wants your company and can give you affection. I know you must think I'm being sentimental but sometimes I find myself wishing I had something like that again.
Not that I don't appreciate how the city feels. That means more to me than anything. Thank you for such a beautiful gift, Edward.
So you juxtapose the feelings of an individual against a whole city and find the former superior or at least feel as if you're lacking due to your perception of only having the latter.
It's like the feeling of being in a party full of people you get along with yet feeling alone. It's more ... intimate. Two people. As opposed to an entire city.
Don't you ever wish for it? You did once. With Miss Kringle.
It's a shame, really. Not that you killed her, I'm sure that was a wise move as ever, I know it's rare that you ever make a mistake. Just that you're not looking to be wth someone. I would hate for you to ever be lonely, Edward.
I understand that love can be a weakness, especially to men like us, but I do believe sometimes it's a great motivator. Without you, I wouldn't have half the drive I do right now
... as in you because you helped me realise the city loved me and that motivates me. Not you specifically. That's just be silly!
Not that you don't help. You do. You're perfect at your job.

I know you crave it, so I've shown you love. You've always been loved.
