Chilton's initial assessment of the fact, and perhaps his most honest. He rubbed his fingers over his chin, he pinched the bridge of his nose and looked away. Taken on Crane. Even in a probational context, it sounded lewd. A raw, moist horror.
"Do not downplay this." Sharp eyes back on Will's face. "I wouldn't call holding the leash to Crane's collar as something boring."
Because Will, more than anyone else knew, didn't he? The entangled depths of a darkened mind, the twisted cravings that were innate to certain people. Even the sort of people who claimed they were good now -- or have always been good, that their doppelganger had ruined those lives, that it had always been the evil twin. A spliced Gemini. There would be those who claimed that truly, honestly, only God could judge them.
But there were no gods in Chilton's world, none in Will's world. They had only devils.
