Summary
Werner is a thousand little betrayals that deserve penance— this he knows to be true; the foreboding dread settles into his stomach like molten lead. His sins will pile up. They will matter.
But if Werner is a thousand little betrayals, Frederick is a thousand little rebellions. He is loyal to his beliefs, enduring wound after wound and yet still holding onto his morality with the iron grip that few hands scraped so bloody can have.
Frederick is a thousand little rebellions that deserve recompense. If Werner’s sins will be returned to him, made to matter, let it be that Frederick’s devotions will be rewarded.In the morning light, a sinner, so unused to praying that his hands are clumsy and his prayers sloppy, prays for another’s salvation.
Let it matter, Werner implores. Let it matter.
