He flinched but didn't pull away. He didn't answer right away either.
"I've done . . . things. To people who don't deserve it. To people I love. To people I'd rather die than hurt. And yet I've still hurt them. Deliberately. Over and over. I destroyed a relationship Diana. I hurt someone to the point I can never see them again, and rightly so. There's no way to apologize or make up for the things I've done."
Steve swallowed hard against tears, "Why did I do that? Why would I hurt people I loved? Why would I abuse someone so consistently and horribly he can't even look at me without hating that I'm alive? Why Diana? Why?" He didn't have concrete answers, all he had was the hope that the city had done something to him, had made it easier for his terrible impulses and decisions to come to the fore and be implemented. What else made any sense for what he'd done?
