Ryoji, yes, I understand. I too do not wish to give in to the vicious nature that rules and torments me always. You need not apologize to me! I am but a poor sinner, and I have no reason to expect help. It is only right that I should bear my torment.

[He turns to Diarmuid, then.]

Why do you not listen to me? I mean I have done no wrong here! At this event! I did not speak of the past... Of course I am a brutal monster. I do not deny it. I already admitted as much. But I do not know how many there were.

[He knows there were a lot. He wouldn't claim not to remember, but at times, a haze clouds his thoughts, and he cannot think clearly, so his memories are imprecise. Yet he frowns at the mention of his Master. He can't be angry with Ryuunosuke, or blame him for anything he's done. His Master is still dear to him, and he will continue to serve him faithfully. (Gilles fails to see the contradiction here.)]

I have already done good here. I have promised Jeanne to help the people, and so I will.

You speak for yourself. Most do not know of what I have done, or when I speak to them of it, they forgive me! There is such a Christian sense of mercy here, I can but thank God that I was delivered! I have never known such kindness.
