It's not really about survival - I plan to make it as long as I can, but I have a shorter lifespan than most of you anyway. If I go, then I go, even if I'll go down clawing to every inch of life that I can on the way down.
[That much is sincere but - ]
I don't really have a use or a reason to blackmail you, so it feels weird having information on you that you only felt like giving me because you thought I was going to kick the bucket.
It would be karma if I left you suffering alone, knowing that I know more about you than you know about me.

Your mother passed on, you said? Ah, I never knew mine. Or my father. The Green Dragon was seen as a burden to the entire village, and so they kept me locked up, chained to the ground. My only caretaker was the former Green Dragon - who hated my existence.
Once a new Green Dragon is born, there's no use for the old one, after all. So he was slowly dying, because of me.
It didn't exactly make for a comfortable living environment.
