Mm. [It's confirmation without words, as he focuses his attention on the hand in his, the warmth of Basch next to him. Otherwise he's sure he'll slip into his thoughts, into the memories of his own past.]
I can't help but just... selfishly want what I want, after all. It's why I gave myself the piercings, and why I've... tried things on my own. It's not a desire a priest is supposed to have, especially some of the things I enjoyed.

I didn't... think anyone could actually see me as a person, for a long time. I didn't know how people acted, the ways they lift each other and help each other. I'd never spoken to people until I came of age, not unless they were teachers or classmates. Mm, or my siblings, but I wasn't home very often when they were just born either.
