You are a prisoner because they are being careful. They are being careful because they believe you are lying.
Why would I lie? They think I'm one of these others -- other what?
Please, stop talking, Henry. The first night I spent on this island I was dragged into the jungle by 2 men. They never spoke a word to me, nor I to them. I killed these men -- smashed in their head with a stone, felt their blood on my arms. I need you to know how sorry I am for this. I need you to know that I am back on the righteous path now. And that I regret my actions. I ask you for your forgiveness.
Why are you telling me this?
Because I needed to tell someone.
