“	Even if I was this monster somehow, or in another life, don't hold my sins against her. I am begging you. Save her. The Thawne I know has haunted my life since I was just a kid. He's killed people I care for. He deserves to rot. He could never put someone else's needs before his. I'm sorry. You're not the man I thought you were. You're someone better.	”
— Eobard Thawne and The Flash[src]
