Summary
“How do I repent?” he repeated, quieter this time. “I know what I did was necessary. God told me so but I know that I am still supposed to repent when I sin. I do not understand which part was the sin.”
Armin's mouth went dry at his gaze. There was an awful sincerity in his expression, a genuine belief that Armin possessed some knowledge inaccessible to ordinary people. Bertholdt had constructed an entire theology around his own experiences, and somehow Armin had become one of its central figures.
“I don't know,” Armin whispered. “I told you, I'm not an angel.”
“I know what you say.” Bertholdt's voice remained remarkably gentle. “But God tells me otherwise.”
The silence between them stretched until Bertholdt spoke again.
“Tell me, how can I repent for these thoughts?”
