Felix goes quiet. "I wanna tell you a story. When I was twelve, I saw some giant spiders dying in the cold. Giant spiders are the natural predators of my kind. I took them in and cared for them. My family was upset, and everyone was mad at me for giving shelter to our greatest foe. The spiders and I loved each other. But I knew they were an issue. People were getting angrier the bigger the spiders got. So I killed them. The spiders, I mean. I had decided when I took them in that I was going to eat them, and I did. This made people even more upset. In their eyes, I had killed and eaten not only monsters but my own pets. I was a monster. A cruel madman."
"Anyone else would have left those spiders to die. It's inevitable that they were to join the deceased, but that is true of all creatures. All things need love, even monsters. Everything has a purpose, and they need guidance to achieve it. I don't know your purpose, because you have the intellect and strength to choose it yourself, but you have grown wilted. You need to be nourished in mind, body, and spirit."
The Abomination, after hearing that story, begins to silently sob, the tears coming from their eyes sizzling on their face as they turn to steam from the infernal heat. They do not make a sound, simply wrapping their arms around Felix, hugging them tightly, holding them with all the compassion they can muster.
Felix hugs back. "There, there... it's all okay. You don't need to worry. I'll be here for you."

Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.
May each word that I speak be backed by each of my teeth.

“I didn’t want to hurt them. I promise I didn’t. They just made me angry, they attacked me out of rage, they didn’t mean it, but I…” He says, seemingly talking to himself.

"You have as much right as they do to live, to be angry, to fight for your life. You are good, you are kind, and you are important." He gently pats the Abomination's back.

“They were my friends. They didn’t mean it, they were sorry, I didn’t…” They hold Felix tightly, the only thing keeping him from breaking down “I did it, I could have showed them mercy, but I didn’t. The only thing I can do is atone in some way.”

"Shhh... you may have done something wrong, but that doesn't make you who you are. The past is past. If they were really your friends, they would want you to have a future."

His chains hiss loudly against his skin, the sigils on them shining as well as he sobs “They were my friends, but they deserve the future I took away from them. It’s my fault they aren’t here too.”

He continues to cry and cry, until he turns back into the weak half of his being, still hugging Felix.
Felix smiles. "That was all you. I was just here to listen. You can heal, and while we both live, I'll be here to help you."
“You are far greater than you need to be. I must continue to atone for my crimes, but your help is much appreciated.”
"I can sign you up for some community service work, if you'd like. No greater atonement than helping those who need it most, you know?"
“I would love to help those in need. I’ve also been trying to help by adventuring, stopping other monsters from hurting people where I can. Have you met the Jester? They were the one who recommended it to me.”

“Anywhere I can help would be amazing, although I may end up eating a bit from the food bank myself, considering that I’ve been starving for weeks.” He sighs “But the Jester has always been nice, comforting like you.”

"Any food bank would be happy to feed you. I'll sign you up to take donations as well. And the Jester makes a living out of being hero support, just like me. I just happen to be less musically inclined. Well, instrumentally. I can sing okay."
