070: A Leash

"I suppose the Siphon is a kind of leash. Yes, my father put it on me, but when the time came, neither did I remove it myself. What would happen if I took off the leash, and I found I was...as obedient as ever?"

071: The Value of Choice

"Our minds are born festering with sin. Some are so blighted, they will never find redemption. The mind must not be pulled from the roots. My children are without blame, without fault-- and without choice. For what is the value of will when the spirit is found wanting?"

072: Debts

"Bring us the girl and wipe away the debt." But in the end, he is the one who'll have to pay down all of our accounts, won't he? Where does his guilt start ... and mine end?

073: A Last Chance

As the days pass, I believe less in God and more in Lutece. My powers shrivel as my regrets blossom. All of this because my father failed me. By the time I realized how far I'd gone, it was too late to stop it. But there is still one last chance at redemption-- for both of us.

074: Smothered in the Crib

What I've done cannot be undone. I cannot stop what I have put in motion. But perhaps I can keep it from ever starting. He was my first hope, and now...he is my last.

075: Ending It

Tomorrow, the leash comes off-- because all of this ... has to end. But even if I destroy the Siphon, will I be strong enough to see all the doors, and open whichever I choose? And if I bring him here, who is to say that he would be any match for the monsters I have created?
