"You made a sacrifice," he says softly, almost in awe. "Carol. I envy you."
He tilts his head to the side, watching her, stepping closer, letting his cigarette dangle in his fingers. He can see her there, sixteen, drowning her sister. Cleansing her. Full of wrath, letting it consume her, fill her, until it ate her alive.
And she gave her life for it. Her freedom. She sacrificed her sister, her everything.
He's never wanted to help anyone more. He's never wanted anyone more.
The blade burns against his skin like Lust in his heart, like Wrath. Envy.
