Words of Pity

"Sister, I really do not wish to hurt you. Everything I'm doing is to rescue you from this detached world. We can go back to our Creator, to the Highest Realms. Your divinity is still intact. The Absolute is preserving you, but there's not much time left before his powers run out. Trying to keep this realm in itself was already too much of a stretch. We trespassed so many rules, so many laws, did countless blasphemy to the Tree of Origin. We also... created a monstrous being to assist us," Heine said, his eyes starting to glisten with tears as his arms stretched to land on Estelle's shoulder.

However, instead of inciting pity, Estelle became further enraged. Heine's expression and his gestures, wasn't it just proclaiming himself as a victim, and her as the willful, unreasonable figure? A selfish person who had everything planned out for her, but she refused to go through with their plans?
