It's like...purgatory. [Sinclair's brow furrows a little, as he tries to place the almost unfamiliar term, a snippet taken from one of the novels Hien had created for him. His chest almost feels a little heavy with it. He sips a little more at his wine]

I don't remember anything beyond what the doors or the mirrors showed me...but the life I wrote about in my journal didn't seem very happy either.

"Even if they tried to convince me otherwise, I still think it's all my fault. If I hadn't been a child showing off, too slow to make a decision, Beatrice and my parents would still be here with me."

All my happiness was found here. And yet...

[Sinclair shakes his head; the guilt still weighs heavy in his chest, suffocating. More so now that he was aware he had a sin that he allowed to be erased from his mind so easily.]

I don't remember, and that makes it worse...I'm grateful for the people who made my life so warm. But the idea that we should be grateful for the pain it has inflicted on people just because it allowed me to meet you both...it's inhumane.

[What gratitude could arise from seeing his loved ones be hurt over and over, made to repent for something that wasn't their own choice? To repent for living, as simply as they could?]
