Summary
‘There is nothing wrong with you. No hidden monster inside’ Neera's voice tells you again.
If what's inside you isn't a monster -
‘You're just a little boy’
You have come face to face with him now, haven’t you? And -
He was just a little boy. A little boy with the capacity for terrible actions. But still just a little boy.
‘You were just born with a capacity for actions, good or ill. Just like the rest of us.’
If Neera was right, what had you been holding down, keeping sedated all this time?
What had you been living like this for?
‘It's how they make us feel. They look down at us for so long that we begin to look down at ourselves.’
You were the problem. Are the problem. You have to be.
