[ He’d known that before, but it still sticks badly in his throat. To turn against your own children like that is terrible. So many people that d’Artagnan knows here have awful memories of their parents. It’s sad. ]
You know I knew a man once who was so angry with his son that he killed him, and tried to frame him for the murder of hundreds of people. He planned to destroy the poorest part of town, and then be sponsored by the Church to rebuild it. If his plan had worked, he’d have made a fortune. People are terrible to each other. Even to their own.
[ That’s the thing about people. D’Artagnan knows that for every Athos among them, there’s a Gaudet. And not everyone gets the kind of protection they deserve. Why had no on protected Hanna? Why had she been left so alone? Why did she have to suffer, and then end up in a place like this? ]
I’m sorry you didn’t get what you wanted. This never should have happened to you.
[ He moves to hold her hand, the one with the flaming finger tip. He holds it, and then kisses it, on the back. ]
They should have been the ones to keep you safe, and instead they were the ones who hurt you. You deserve so much better than that.
