Thirteen ~ Ensnare
M----- darling,
Whatever has come over you! I have seen you do nothing but support T-----'s association with that damnable writer, and now you defend him? Your loyalties are sadly misplaced, I fear. What sense is there in his wild claims about Man's innate Goodness that has you so blinded? If course there is some of the Good in then, we have always known that, it is only they themselves who are too stupid to realise it. There is nothing about the simple creatures we have not known from the very beginning of their existence. What is this nonsense he spouts about finding all he lost in this man's eyes? What have we lost that we have not regained tenfold? All that we lost were the tethers by which we were bound to Heaven - we are free now. If T----- believes he would rather make himself miserable by trying to build himself a ladder back to enslavement, a ladder that can never reach (especially if it rests on such a faulty base as he seems to intend on using!), then so be it. What responsibility is it of ours if he wants to ruin his existence?
Choice is what we wanted, and what we took for ourselves. He can do with it what he will.
But I am surprised that you, of all of us, should be taken in by his absurdities. Even before we Fell, you did not see why He should bother at all with such contradictive beings as men are. And were you not particularly close to L-----? How then are you being drawn in by T-----'s utter nonsense? Among all of us, you perhaps know the most regarding man's countless follies. I recall how closely you studied ways in which to best ensnare their simple minds, when you were with that singer some time ago.
Do tell T----- to expect word from me soon. I do hope all of you come to your senses soon, else you will begin to make the lot of us look terribly inconsistent and timorous.
In the interim, I strongly suggest that you attend the party H----- is having in a few days. Your absence would be particularly noticeable, my dear, and would lead to still further speculation on your stability of late. You have an unpleasant tendency to leave your self open to doubt and questioning. It would be in your best interest to curb such weakness.
