...No, I don't think you'd have much to gain from lying to me at this point. And I am certainly not going to hold you responsible for the actions of others.

[Children. They are children, he keeps thinking. Lyney is an adult grown now, but--when had he started? What about Freminet?
What lives had they lead, that being spies for the Fatui was an improvement? The idea of it makes his stomach churn.]
