What I would use you for, even I am ashamed of. 

I did not expect to feel shame in my current state. There is so little of me left, and yet it proved not immune to kindness. Do not blame yourself for what is to come— If there were any force left in Arda that were capable of staying me from this course, it would have been that kindness; unexpected, simple, and given in innocence, as is your way in life.  

Once this path was aflame with desire; then vengeance, then hatred, and finally, after all feeling had cooled in me, simply habit. Now I think it is the only purpose left to me. I cannot remember now how you became entangled in my schemes to end the story I helped begin… but if there were a way now to complete it without your sacrifice, I would spare you. 
But perhaps you will make the death of the world more poignant than just the extinguishing of ancient, wretched Shadow that no one will mourn. 

At the very least, I will remember you, till I can remember no more. I am sorry.
