He let out a gut-wrenching scream laced with sorrow and self-loathing.
I gazed at him calmly. I could tell that he was losing his sanity bit by bit; I didn't interfere, for this was a test, which he not surprisingly passed.
After a few seconds of screaming, he suddenly slammed his head into the ground, creating a small crater, after which he went silent, then a will exploded from his mind.
He then looked at me with tears flowing from his eyes and hugged my leg.
"I am sorry, Father. I am so sorry for judging you. I didn't know the boundless despair you have endured all your life. Please forgive me. Forgive us, the world!"
