[Molly with his shadows and his past he never wants to see has never felt so utterly horrified by another person's past. It reminds him that Lucien's not the abused in the narrative that put him into the ground to be raised again as Molly, but the abuser, and if he were a more self-conscious person, perhaps he would feel he doesn't deserve to wrap his arms around her and hold her and ignore that his hands could have broken much more than witches if he ever thought to look into it.
This is why he doesn't. He isn't that person. He is a person with no past who considers other people's pasts to be nothing compared to their present, but Fayura is unloading and probably needs this, so saying this or worrying about his own demons is useless. He sticks to comfort. It's what he's good at.]
But you came out of it. You found the path again.
[If she's expecting horror from knowing a young woman shattered and killed people for a broken mother, then she's in for a surprise. It barely registers. He would've killed them too. He would have killed all of the Iron Shepherds if only he had lived long enough.] How on earth did you get out of that?
