He was the second man to connect his new name with the bible. Funny that he should have chosen it simply because it was the last syllable of his name and yet it's symbolism was appearing everywhere around him. He'd been ignoring God for such a long time and now he couldn't seem to escape him. Maybe it had been a sign. A sign he was too blind to notice. Was it lucky that it had waited so long for him to see it?
"I am not a righteous man," Lot admitted after they had eventually sat down. Even though this man had graciously agreed to hear his confession he found it hard to look at him, so instead of actively avoiding Priest's eyes he sat with his head facing forward, staring blankly into the distance, "I don't actively do bad things," he explained, "But a long time ago I made a mistake, a mistake that cost the life of another and even though I've done my time the pressure of it's consequence still weighs on me, it crushes my very soul," he took a shuddering breath surprising himself by how deeply just saying the words out loud affected him, "I know it's not right to ask forgiveness from a God you haven't worshipped but after 9 years my soul wants relief," he felt silly saying the words, he felt guilty saying them, why should he be forgiven? He killed her!
