he's still unsure. a part of him believes he will always feel this way. none of it was right, this life wasn't right. the things they did weren't right. and yet...their claws dig in deep. so here he was, teaching, lying, leading, and ending a life. or beginning it, as they would tell her. as he had to tell her as well.
of course she can't read. of course someone else has whispered into her ear the lies scriptures that he too had memorized. burnt into his flesh like a sin. and now he must do the same to her.
" — that's good... " he lies again. " do you have questions about it? about the scripture? " about anything. question it, he begs silently. but this was his job now. he must adhere to the rules set forth before him. and so she must learn, and she must become as he is.
maybe the world will not feel as lonely he thinks to himself. but it will, and he will feel the guilt along beside it for his eternity.
