The difference between wilt and scatter: You either die a hero or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain The thing is, Monty only ever said "scatter and wilt" in reference to Ruby and Adam.

For context: Back before the series started, a lot of people thought Ruby and Adam were related just because they both have a black and red color scheme and a rose symbol. Monty said that, despite their symbols being similar, they are not related, "the difference being scatter and wilt."

Ruby's symbol is a scattering rose.

Adam's symbol is a wilting rose.

Simple as.
