Heretic’s Fork: Is there something your muse will never confess to?
If anyone has paid attention, Riou has waffled considerably on whether or not he’s killed someone before. He’s gone from “Absolutely not”, to “I’ve dropped someone on death’s door”, to “Yes I have” and back again. He doesn’t consider the Insection he disemboweled during the Nemesis Coup as “killing” because it was a drone, little more than an animal.
So whether Riou’s literal pacifistic adherence to “no death ever” is because he killed someone or almost killed someone is anyone’s guess. And I’m not saying one way or the other.
