[ Bellamy's thoughts return to his sister in due time, brought around as all thoughts are - full circle. Her anger. The way that he rationalizes the thought of her anger, her hate - the hate of others. He's too young. Versed in facing the knowledge that he will be unliked, mistrusted. Comfort is cold, never will quite reach. Bellamy wants to know how to handle that - no, he wants to know if it's even possible to handle that? The Darkling cannot tell, and he breathes out. Terse, thoughtful. The sick feeling in his stomach has been abating, the longer he keeps Bellamy tucked away where it is cool and dark. ]
Because, I knew I was doing the right thing for our people. And one day, she would have understood, [ there's no doubt within him, that he could have been wrong. ]
Reconciling the decisions that you make, with how people will regard you is always a challenge, Bellamy. Either you become their tyrant, or their sin-eater.
