"Pierce," Kieran said gently. "I don't think that any of it was your fault, and from the sounds of it, Neil didn't either. He knew that you were being forced and that's why he helped. You were doing what you had to do at the time to keep Otti safe. I think with the shock of finding out that your life and your parents weren't what you thought, and then killing Neil and everything with Otti... Pierce, I genuinely think you had an identity crisis."
I shrugged.
"Okay, and so what? What's that matter now?" I asked.
Kieran inspected me silently for a moment.
"You never worked through it," he finally said.
I just blinked at him.
"How does one work through beating someone to death in cold-blood?" I asked sarcastically.
Kieran rolled his eyes.
"How many people have you killed?" he asked me.
