[ god!!!! they're back to this and lucas is so cheerful but scien simmply refuses to let himself be moved. immediately: ]

The Society of Exorcists warped into a scam and a nightmare. It was not your fault.

[ simply ]

But Ortie escaping death row did make things harder on you. There is a benefit to it, as it did keep Nadia alive this long and she had the chance to be saved. Do not blame yourself for taking the first hand offered to you, to protect what you love most in the world.

[ especially after scien experienced the memory itself ]

However, it no longer serves you. That cult, and everything associated with it, will only get in your way.
