Blade thought he could handle hearing this. After all, after everything, Blade did blame himself for what happened - partially, of course. That what he did helped motivate Hwylyrn to do what he did.
It's impossible for him to think otherwise.
His grip is in a vice - and he's listening...he's listening closely...in a way, Blade is punishing himself for this. He needs to know, he needs to know, know, know—after all, they originally understood each other, didn't they?
Except that hatred leaks in. That madness. That guilt. That wretched, twisted emotion of grief.
Strange, as he's talking about Sariel too, he's talking about hurting himself (what's happening now?)
Blade sees himself in the mirror. And the mirror shatters into tiny pieces.
Then, he sees the spiderlilies. The red flare.
Blade forgets who he is. This is no longer about logic. About feelings.
He's simply just lost his mind.
Blade draws Shard Sword. It's a blade with cracks, and with Hwylyrn so close, it's probably apparent what he's about to do. This is no illusion - this is a weapon that can be witnessed. ]
