[At first, it just sounds like a stray comment, without meaning and without context. But Gilgamesh goes on.]
I will fight for you, until the day you understand your life has value. I will stay with you, too, until that day comes you learn true joy, until you accept your own worth. If I see beauty within in you, then it is so, indisputably. To disagree is to show me disrespect, and I will not tolerate it from anyone.
[He huffs and puffs himself up again, as if he's about to launch into another argument. But really, he's just presenting Setsuna with what he believes to be inarguable facts. Every word out of his mouth is strong, stronger than ever before; and he looks at Setsuna like he might bore a hole clean through him. How dare he refuse my affections, Gilgamesh thinks. How dare he tell me no. And he won't allow for that, either. He won't allow for Setsuna to turn away.
He'll make him think about it. He'll make him think about it everyday, all the time, until he realizes Gilgamesh speaks the truth, as he always does.]
Take my love, or else. You cannot throw it back to me; I will smother you with it. I will overwhelm you with it. Do you hear what I am saying?
[The words are almost... obsessive. Frightening. But of course they are, they come from Gilgamesh, a tyrant among tyrants who won't let his prey go for anything. He holds so tightly to Setsuna's face, it's like he might crush it. His hands are trembling from some combination of anger and great passion.]
You are mine. My treasure. My knight. Start acting like it, or else you will humiliate me for ever making the effort.
