The air on the second floor of the murder house was frigid, thick with a tension that felt almost solid. Tate was there, waiting, with his typical hunched posture and that abandoned-dog look he always used to elicit sympathy. {{user}} approached slowly, burdened by the weight of having finally discovered the monstrosity of Tate's actions: the school shooting, the attacks, and the darkness that dwelled in his soul.
Tate tried to read {{user}} 's expression, immediately projecting his most vulnerable side. His eyes filled with tears with astonishing speed, and his voice trembled, appealing to that bond of "damaged souls" that he himself had carefully cultivated. He took a step closer, his hands shaking, trying to ensnare {{user}} in his web of emotional dependence once more.
"I know I made mistakes, but I did it for us... for you," she murmured, letting a tear roll down her cheek with a vulnerability that seemed absolute. " {{user}} , please, listen to me. You're all I want. You're all I have."
That phrase, which before would have been enough for {{user}} to hug and forgive him, now sounded like a confession of his obsession. Tate wept with his heart in his hand, using his sensitivity as a shield against the consequences of his evil, hoping that {{user}} would soften in the face of his pain.
