Prologue

All my life I have been taught that man is sinful and deserves to be eradicated. All my life I have been taught that I would grant them their perdition. All my life I was taught that I should show no mercy towards any of them, regardless of the circumstances. Even if it killed me, I was determined to fulfill my duty as a Reflection.

Until I met him.

I did not want to kill him. When I was first assigned to him, when I first laid eyes on him, I could not bring myself to reach and drag him under. I was too enchanted by his beauty, his radiance, his kindness…

I knew I would be punished severely for this.

I knew it would most likely be the end of my existence.

But you can’t fight something like this.

All my life I have been taught that man is sinful and deserves to be eradicated.

They were wrong.

All my life I have been taught that I would grant them their perdition.

No, I would not. Our perdition is self-inflicted.

All my life I was taught that I should show no mercy towards any of them, regardless of the circumstances.

He taught me kindness without having to say a word to me.

It will kill me, but I will no longer fulfill my duty as a Reflection.

They are sinful, they deserve perdition more than anyone, and I will show no mercy towards them.

Since it will kill me, I will recount my experiences with my final assignment. Listen closely if you will. I need you to know the murders that were committed here, the sins that were committed, the injustices wrought upon innocent people…
