@Roiya @TRNRLogan Nah, his confession was pretty much genuine. At least he wouldn't have said it quite like that if he didn't 100% mean it.
That's why it's pretty easy to guess why he made that expression. Like this he might have to make the choice to betray his mother and I am sure he doesn't want to choose between the two of them. 🤔
But yeah, after her backstory I understand completely why she didn't want to tell a single soul about it. Actually, she must really like him if she mustered enough courage to tell him THAT. I mean, who would want to tell her lover that she made a contract with a literal devil? 😣
