"...The man I-I. I chose to become this. I was terrified.I had to though. Even if I barely remembered..."

Abby. With her short hair and the memories that aren't his. A twisted parting gift from the creature that used his memories as a way to create it's...his own reality. The real love that filled his chest. The big green creature looks confused and hurt, staring at her before he stares at his hands again.

"I became this to save the woman I love. She'd...she'd want me to hold onto it."

It's such a small reason but it's his. The flowers around him take on a grayish tinge for a moment before he calms them with a quiet mental word.

"I want to hold onto it. I chose this. To sacrifice my humanity for her and to...become fully of the green."

No matter how much it hurts.

"I gather that might not make sense. She...she was a hell of a woman."
