For a few of 'em, yeah. But for most of them that really didn't matter much. They were more pissed off that I hurt a "kid" to get back at him when he screwed me over first. Or at least that's what I thought he did at the time.
[ he huffs a shade amused. ]
They're real big on thinking kids can't do anything really bad, at least not on purpose. The strongest and most terrifying Saint I know is fourteen. It kinda makes me wonder if this had all happened a few weeks before it did, I would've been seventeen—if that would have changed how they look at me.
[ shrug. seventeen or eighteen he considers him not a child just because in his world, childhood lasts until you leave the single digits if you're lucky. ]
But yeah, seems that way. I had no idea I was, just knew that sometimes my head felt like splitting in two if I didn't do certain things or think a certain way.
[ danny, in his head: whisper was a child? he just fully assumed she was an adult. or close enough to it. ]
They are. It explains our little middle school serial killer, if what I'm hearing about him here is right. And it definitely worked to my benefit too--for a while, anyway. But I guess a 16-year-old is easier to suspect than a 13-year-old.
...hmm. So you had free will right up until you bumped into something your brainwasher didn't like. [ he can't tell if that's better or worse than being fully controlled with no autonomy. thankfully, he hasn't had to deal with something like that. ] Who did it?
