Flame, I ask thee for forgiveness. I merely reached out to admire your beauty and strength, believe me. I'd never even dream of claiming your spark as my own. These accusations are false!
I was a magistrate, you know? Renowned and respected! I love the law as if it were my wife, and I'd never betray such a sacred bond.
But I've become an outcast, force to leave my home... Neither hearth, wife, or mistress can warm me. Lift this Hollow curse. I swear on my family that I'm a good person.
