The Myashtalnder nods and says his confession. "I'm sorry that I left home, but the cult of blood had already sacrificed my father so that their high priest could marry my mother, and I just didn't feel like I belonged under the same roof after that. Well, I guess that's my second sin, for both my dad and I believed the lottery was fixed due to how pretty mom was. And I'm sorry I threatened to stab my brother-in-law despite his being a magistrate, but I couldn't stand it after he hit my sister that second time. And I'm sorry I wasn't around when the lady was killed, but she and I thought it would be best if I slept in the stables that night due to appearances being what they are and how it wouldn't be looked at kindly for a young lad to be staying in the same room of an unmarried woman. And a foreigner like me to boot. Not sure what I could have done if I was there, though. I'm not exactly handy with a knife after all. Oh, and I'm sorry I stole from my primary teacher, but she gave her students gifts when they behaved in class, and I never thought I'd be able to behave again, so I grabbed two gifts that day instead of the one. Ok, I guess that's it. I'm ready to die now."
