He's not a person. He's more like a force of nature. He's existed since the beginning of everything, and he's been taking hosts since humans have been around. He got into my father's body the first time they met. I don't blame myself anymore for becoming a prostitute, because the fact that I kept him out of my body is...something I can still hardly believe I managed to do.
I don't want you to make it up to me. There's nothing to make up for, really. Wardens are supposed to deal with their inmate's baggage. I dumped mine all over Paddy without a second thought, so I knew what I was signing up for when I made my deal. I'm thankful I get to help someone like you.
This is why it's such a big step for you. You restrained yourself from killing him even though you don't forgive him, even though you think he deserves to suffer. I think he deserves to suffer too, to tell you the truth. But that you can step back and say you won't have a hand in it is huge, really huge. You won't turn into that other Wanda as long as you can do that. You won't let a desire to make him pay consume you, I know you won't. You're strong.
