He's not wrong, of course. Then again, Silco was aware that he was mostly dead weight on the battlefield. He remembered when the butt of an enforcer's gun had so solidly hit him in the eye that never closed, and what that had done. Of course, Vander had finished that job, but...
He'd never be strong. Not like the others. Perhaps it's his mindset, that leads him down this path, the way his abilities were starting to manifest. The way he could fade from vision, when he looked at himself in the mirror, and the way he'd started secreting that purple ooze from his fingers. He could guess what that was. ]
