"We killed them because there wasn't options. And... we didn't know then what we do now."
The knowledge that one day, Sophie might be a cultist. Just because she was born in this world and not another.
"I know it's reckless. But you were right about the Malnosso. They lost their hearts because they let it happen to them. They can't get that back. That's where I was headed, too. And don't say I wasn't, because I was. Whenever I was out there, I was losing myself in the battles. I tried to keep count, at first. I thought that would help. But I can't even remember how many I've killed now. Four months ago, I didn't care how many I had killed. Right now? I still don't. But I need to."
