[Corvo can practically taste the bitterness of the other man.]

When the Outsider offered me his mark, taking it was a choice.

[It wasn't forced upon him, just like it wasn't forced upon Daud or Emily. It was a choice they made so they could take what they wanted. Corvo has some doubt that the Outsider has a great plan he's working. The god seemed more like a child who simply liked to watch the show play out. Sure, the god sprinkled his influence, but in the end, the choices are their own.]

I guess you really have been out of touch for awhile. Delilah attacked Dunwall Tower. She took my mark and imprisoned me. Emily escaped and took back the throne. She accepted the Outsider's gift to do it.

[Corvo understands why. He can't fault his daughter for doing what he had once done.]
