[Harlan pffts. He is tipsy at best, it just doesn't take much to get him to make an ass of himself.]

Whatever. According to my system, what I do is definitely worse, yeah. But magic is different where I come from. I guarantee you that my process without the mind games would be a way worse experience.

[It is, in his mind. He's been on the other side of that coin. The magic sure as shit complicates the aftermath, but then, he doesn't give his victims an aftermath. In the moments that matter, his magic makes it easier on them. It feels like dreaming, without the caveat of having to wake up.

He's never thought of himself as a person capable of redemption, though. Fenris and his dick system are right in one way: Once you cross a certain line, there's no taking it back. Even if he were to immediately change his ways, he'll still always be the guy that tortured and killed 77 people. You don't get to erase that, ever.]

Do you really think I could redeem myself after all that? Can you redeem yourself? There's a sliding scale with murder, sure, but it's still murder.
