To Those in the Know

Samson Mors is an utter dickwad. But even then, I saw the man ask for forgiveness yesterday. And if he can do that, I truly believe there's hope for everyone

Thank you, Thomas. I love you so much. I love to make you proud.

And thank you for seeing yesterday for what it was. I think you're the amazing one for wanting to pursue it. You're right, though. It may well be a worthwhile thing to do. It's something I think I'd like for us to do together. It may come to nothing, but we'll know we tried. And that too is certainly not nothing.

My favourite part though was where you told him to shove it up his arse. I almost giggled, though the situation was hardly...giggle-worthy. That's me though. Inappropriate Littleton.

You want to see him again? Of course I will do that with you. But I'm just as happy to do it by myself if you don't want to put yourself through it.

[in_spectre_mors]

Haha, yes... I can imagine that. And looking back, it was rather amusing. Not for me at the time, but I can see it now!

I think I've gone through the hardest part now. Which isn't to say that what comes next will be easy, but I've finally seen the man behind the monster. If I can possibly see that again, that's worth trying for.

You're my little firecracker.

Alright, honey. You impress me more every second I know you, I hope you know that. And I'll be right there beside you.

Wow, now that's some seriously huge stuff. I don't remember ever hearing anything about Samson that wasn't dickwad-related before. Awesome that you guys were able to do anything to change that. It's definitely something to be proud of. You rock.

There wasn't anything about Samson that wasn't dickwad-related before. I wasn't a father when I heard what he had done to the man I loved, and I was disgusted. I'm a father now, and not only am I disgusted, I'm baffled. I can't imagine putting my children through anything that would bring them pain. In fact, thanks to my own childhood, which was not terrible but meager, every time I get to feed them I get all excited and happy. Seeing them full and safe and smiling...there's nothing better than that. But yesterday I saw him admit to being wrong. Because he had been worried for their safety. So there is something of a father in him. Just...skewed.

I'm not a dad, but I see the way you are with your kids, and I get how much the way Samson acted would be anathema to you. It'd take someone real fucked up not to see how wrong it all was. Which I guess pretty much sums him up. It's so weird to think that he probably thought he was doing the right thing. You gotta wonder what the world looks like to some people.

[suave_thomas]

I think I'd rather not know how the world looks to him. If I did, I might understand and I don't want to. If his sight is his problem, I'd rather be blind than see his way.

It just goes to show that Peter's hospital is a place where people really can change :) It may be slow, but if I can do it, so can he. Just because he can doesn't mean he will, but if anyone can help, he's in the best place to get that help with people like you and Peter around.

[suave_thomas]

We'll try our best. But honey, you were never like he was. You were scared. He just can't see the world through anyone's eyes but his own, and his view is a terrifying one.

[demon_svetlana]

I think he sounds like he's scared, too. If his view is so terrifying, he's probably terrified of it.

[suave_thomas]

I wouldn't have thought of that, Svetlana. But it makes a lot of sense. Maybe he's so afraid of the Hell he's always talking about, that he saw pain here as necessary to avoid worse pain elsewhere. Thank you.
