Well, no. First I killed him.

[He admits, with the kind of very quiet, very calm voice that actually sounds a little more dissociated than it does healthy.]

I mean, I should say, first he killed my mother, while she was trying to pack us up to leave. I was right there, and eventually he was sentenced and incarcerated, and I grew up with my aunt. After Brian was released, though, when I was a few years older than you would be now, he got out. He came and he found me at her grave, on the anniversary of her death, and the next thing I remember, the police were informing me that he'd had a fall against a tombstone.

It didn't exactly make me cry over him, but I think it changed something in me for the worse, losing control of my anger like that. My accident only amplified something that was already wrong with me. I was a better person before I grew into a powerful man, and I am a better person now that I move away from it. I believe that.
