Please let it not be too late.
Keltham realizes that his eyes are starting to water.
He didn't mean - to hurt anyone - by coming here - by being in Golarion -
Let alone kill, kill, fifteen percent of the population, even if they get afterlives, that's still, kind of, bad -
Yes, he knows, he gets it, this step was literally unavoidable in any solution, he's not stupid, he gets that, anything bringing hope into this world would have set off Zon-Kuthon -
The thought eases the ache in his eyes, but not enough to prevent the first tear from sliding down.
Does Carissa's gendertrope-substitute tell her it's okay, for her boyfriend to cry in front of her, as his own gendertrope tells him that if you can't cry in front of your girlfriend you can't cry in front of anyone? Or is it all mismatched madness and insanity as things always are in Golarion, men told to do one thing and women who can only love them if they do something else?
"Does it help the gods fight, if we pray to them?" Keltham whispers.
