[ His claws only continue to drum on the table, even at the discussion of his son's death. Of Lisa being hurt. Of that bishop. But his shadow is long, not quite matching up to where it ought to be given the position of the light fittings, and there is the sound of scraping and cracking as deep grooves form on the stone floor and walls at its edges.

My wife was murdered in the name of protecting the people of this city from devils. I gave this place only what it wished for - a city without the devil. Without laws. Without guidance. And you took that from them, forced order upon them once more, and expected it to end well. Every misfortune suffered in my absence you have brought upon yourself in subverting my wishes, and I owe no debts to those who take advantage of foolish children.
