"You misunderstand, Nina. I was not ashamed because I humiliated you. I did not know that I humiliated you. I was ashamed to succumb to sexual desire of any sort. It is base and beneath me.

His tone is oddly even, lacking the rage from moments before. He realizes that part of their problem may lie in not understanding each other whatsoever. He is blinded by a lack of empathy, she is blinded by too much of it.
"If the line is to get your permission for such acts, I can abide that. There is no need for all this foolishness."
