umm hey,
don’t care how old this message is—me replying to it might be the most embarrassing thing I could do, but just to clear things up, them words weren’t just about revenge.
like fr, would you be able to fight someone while carrying a baby and a sword for someone else's sake, just for the sake of revenge?
(take that as an example.)
and it's not like he just abandoned them for revenge either. like, if he really left her behind, why’d he take Jemina away from the church? why would he fight those thieves to reclaim their home instead of goin’ straight to Jack to assassinate him or ask where Godwin is?
and last thing—if he truly didn’t give a damn about anyone, then he might as well stop shining, ‘cause he wouldn’t achieve anything.
oh and btw, he later learns how to use telepathy—he doesn’t even need to hold a sword or touch it to talk to it now.
not tryna go against your comment or anything, but maybe give it another look? more chapters are droppin’, in case you haven’t read ‘em yet or maybe stopped halfway.
