"I'm sorry. I hate that it has to be this way too. You know I do my best to always be honest. I wouldn't be doing this if there was another way."

Steve sighs heavily and drops his gaze away from Blaze and Ghost. He feels guilty now and it gnaws at him. Asking Blaze and Ghost to lie about him. Steve can't blame Blaze for being upset about it. He doesn't like it either.

"I don't like this any more than you do, I can promise you that. I'm sorry."
