cw: almost forced suicide
His words make her skin crawl - ‘the puppet with the voice of God’ is what he used to call her. He’d tell stories of Metatron, of the Word as Command, conveniently forgetting religion had no place in this, no place in the Russia he was trying to build. But the metaphor was too good for minor inconsistencies.
And this way, he could cast himself as God. People like him don’t like religion unless they get to be God. And God is always in control.
