[flashback]
Me mum says I'm cursed. My seeing things is an affront to the Lord. That only He's supposed to see anything before it happens. But I don't mean to, Father, I swear. I swear. I try to be pure in His sight. I don't want to be an evil thing.
Oh, hush, child. The Lord has a plan for all creatures. Even a devil child like you.
[mortified] A devil...
Yes, you're a spawn of Satan, all the Hail Mary's in the world aren't going to help. The Lord will use you and smite you down. He's like that.
What can I do?
Fulfill His plan, child. Be evil. Just give in.
No! I want to be good. I want to be pure.
We all do, at first. World doesn't work that way.
Father, I beg you. Please... please, help me.
Very well. Ten 'Our Fathers' and an act of contrition. Does that sound good?
Yes. Yes, Father, thank you.
The pleasure was mine. Oh, and my child?
Yes?
God is watching you.
