Victor is a bad man. This is well known. Once, long before the death of a woman named Stephany, this wasn't true. Once Victor was ill but this isn't about Victor. Nor is it about Stephany or the child she and the bad man created. This telling is of Richmond and why the silent man knew everything that Victor did. This is the tell of why Richie hardly spoke and why, since his mother's death, he refused to leave the house. *Prequel to Scars *Can be read alone
