   Summary

   "...is it terrible that I'm almost relieved?"

   Blanc looks confused for a moment by the non sequitur. "Relieved...about what specifically?"

   "All of it, I guess. That it's done. I was so terrified and now it's just— all the things I imagined, they happened. Nothing left to be scared of."

   Blanc hums. "After the weekend you've had, I think you're well within your rights to be glad it's over with."

   Jud shakes his head. "No, Blanc. Not this weekend. I've been terrified for years, my whole life maybe. I didn't— I never felt good. Like a good priest, or a good man at all, really. And now, it's like...I don't know the answer, but it doesn't matter. I don't have to prove it anymore."

   A conflicted look passes over Blanc's face. "You never did, Jud," he says quietly.
