(LOCKE)
There's no record of Erik having a child.
It takes two days to confirm that bit of information, and it sends me spiraling. I walk through the streets of this human city, feeling overwhelmed by everything that is happening.
The last eight years have taken a toll on me. They've also shown me a side of myself that has me feeling nauseated.
Eight years is a long time to examine my interactions with Corrine. I was so cruel to her in the beginning. She never complained. She never said a word. But it wasn't because she didn't feel the hurt and humiliation. It was because she had no other choice.
I know how different the human world is from life on the other side of the Veil. If Corrine has lived here for all these years, she has had no restrictions on her. I am a man deep-rooted in tradition. Will she ever want to leave this life and come back with me ? I can't see that happening. And even if I did convince her, what could I offer her? How would she ever believe me?
