    Back to yelling in Nova's face. "Oh, yeah, you're right, it's totally possible that they could have just woken up one day and decided, 'Hmm, rape is bad, actually. I won't do it anymore'! How terrible of me to deprive of them the infinitesimal chance that they'd get better! I should have waited...

    As Nova kept talking, Andre found himself more and more angry. That feeling dulled the doubts enough for him to meet Nova's eyes. "Are you fucking real right now?" he snapped. "I killed abusers, rapists and pedophiles, and you question if it did anything good because abuse victims don't...

    The profession question. That was something that had kept Andre up at night multiple times. Why wasn't he a doctor? He knew that, with his build, he couldn't be a policeman - which would lose him a lot of friends, anyway - but why wasn't he something like a social worker? Why hadn't he taken on...

    Andre frowned. "Yeah? I don't see how this is supposed to convince me that I'm wrong." There were a few possibilities, but Andre figured it was better to prompt an elaboration.

    "Well, yeah. The same voice every person has - the voice of conscience," Andre said. "Because I'm able to do this, nothing stopping me... it's my duty. To ignore that would be negligent."

    Hmm. Thank you, Betel, he thought. He looked back to Nova. "Fine. Let's go, then."

    Betel. Right. Andre had forgotten about them. Better ask. Betel? he thought. Can you tell if Nova is telling the truth? Do you have that power?

    Andre stood still. Why would Nova put in that thing? It changed his type, right? To fire, it seemed. And now he wanted them to take a walk. With an authoritative tone. Andre looked around. There were mon around. Witnesses. He would be safe here. Right? "What for?" he asked, his heartbeat...

    "I don't think a few years in jail is enough for ruining someone's life permanently," Andre said matter-of-factly. "And, no, I don't regret it. I wouldn't keep doing it if I didn't think it was the right thing to do."

    "See, this is where that thing about being able to tell when the target regrets their actions comes in," Andre said, not realistically expecting Nova to understand but attempting to explain it anyway. "They don't feel bad about what they did. That means they have a high chance of doing it...

    Andre frowned. This was exactly what he feared would happen. "Red - that's his name - is delusional," Andre said. "He thinks that the world is divided into 'predators' and 'mareep'. 'Predators' meaning 'psychopaths'. He thought that, because I killed people, I must have been a psychopath. But...

    Andre breathed out a sigh. Yeah, Nova was going to hate him, wasn't he? Might as well do as he said and get it over with. "I'm a vigilante," he said. Sounded better than 'serial killer'. "I seek out abusers and I kill them."

    Hmm. Going in a worse direction. "Well, sure, but what if you did know? What if you could talk to them and know for certain what they were feeling when they spoke and whether they were telling the truth? And you heard that they thought, for example, that beating their ex-girlfriend was really...

    "Oh... no," Andre said. Gods, he hadn't thought of Red in a while. That's right, he had to meet that psychopath again once he went home. A psychopath who, while he said he wouldn't kill Andre and had been speaking the truth at the time, could change his mind at any time and just do to Andre what...

    Andre sighed. Should he try to soften the blow? It hadn't done anything with Dave - he'd turned on Andre the moment he found out what it actually was. Odette, though, seemed to agree. Eh. He'd go for it. "So you've probably met some pretty shitty people during all your years, right? People...

    Andre thought about it. Yeah, all the others had managed to get through the Comb. He supposed that implied that no one else in the group had any terrible, upsetting secrets they were keeping from the others. That was, of course, good to know, but it didn't make Andre feel good to know that he...

    "No, not about Dayle," Andre said. The mention of Gerome made him feel a little worse, given that his only real interaction had been with a fake version of the tyranitar, where he'd moronically gone ahead and blabbed about Wayfarer plans before realizing that the strange way the mon was acting...

    Andre had been sitting on one of the benches, pondering this and that, wondering who the third person he would tell was. Odette's positive reaction - positive in a way - had given him a bit more confidence now that he knew that people weren't guaranteed to be disgusted with him. As much. As...

    "Yeah." Andre nodded. "Well, see you around." He turned around and headed back towards the town. He did look over his shoulder one last time at the bush Odette has torched. Should he offer to pay part of the damages? He was the one who'd made Odette so upset. Well, he had a feeling that Odette...

    Yep. Well. That made sense. Odette had clearly been through massive amounts of shit, and it would only make sense to develop extreme opinions based on that. Andre nodded. "Well, I certainly hope my actions have spared people from shit like that. And... sorry to hear." But Odette seemed like...
