Intention [4]

"You understand what I want to ask, right?" He said, addressing Hassan's formless voice.

"I do," Hassan responded succinctly.

"Then…?"

Damien didn't get a response for a long time.

It wasn't an easy decision to make, after all.

Did he want to give up, or did he want to try again?

Hassan was unsure whether or not the man before him could grant him the redemption he still wished for in the bottom of his heart, but it was true that Damien was the only individual who had been able to enter his spiritual world and survive the tumultuous journey of his memories.

Yet, even if Damien truly could give him a chance at redemption, did he want it?

He wasn't good for anything. He couldn't grow his power without binding worlds, but he couldn't bind worlds without experiencing torture.

He was tired of torture.

Hassan had lived his entire life, over 100,000 years, being tortured.

What else could he contribute?
