Elliot, you're not cursed. We've all lost people that we cared about while we were here... it's the Sage who's responsible for bringing about all this misery and suffering.
[Speaking a little softer, she rubs gentle circles on his back.]
I know how you feel though. I know you're trying to make sense of all this, but there is no correlation here between your presence and danger to others, so please don't think like this. At the very least, I know your presence is keeping me safe. There are days when I think to myself that going after the Sage might just be worth it, despite the consequences. But knowing how you'd feel if I did... I could never do that.
