Elijah looked away for a long moment before deciding to tell him the truth. "Well.. he knew the truth.. I .. told him in confession about.. who I was, inside. And for a little while, I even had.. one sided feelings for him. He was the second person in my entire life I could be honest with and he accepted me. I wasn't kicked out of the church or treated like filth. It was such a big deal for me at the time. It's just proof that he is a good guy. So.. I can't hate him for what's happened."
