"But it's not on there now, which meant you were forgiven right? You've paid that price so those sins don't matter anymore."

Because that was the point right? They were hurt until their sins disappeared then they would be free.

Setsuna only had four sins left. It doesn't make hurting him any less terrible but Setsuna was so close to being free...

"Okay... I'll cut your ribs, I can do it without injuring you, I know how..."

He took a breath. He moved closer and tried to keep his hand steady as he reached up and began to cut. He was careful but he knew it would hurt, of course it would hurt, he was cutting into Setsuna.

Tears pooled in his eyes and he blinked them away, they wouldn't help Setsuna.

Nothing could help Setsuna.
