“Are you worried?”
‘Hmm. He wasn’t this kind of man before.’
For a priest, Roam harbored an unusually dark and twisted desire. Hence, even though Tophenne occasionally sympathized with his ideology, he’d never liked him as a person.
There were parts of the situation Tophenne had found himself in that he couldn’t quite understand.
