Chapter 223

Avril was moving my various body parts around like she was taking them for a test drive while I suffered a crisis of conscience. I'd expected Jonah to send Avril back to Sheol. I could get her out of me - Jezebel, after all - but I destroyed Repha'im. It hadn't been a moral quandary when I'd done it to Gunter inside of Levi's ex, Mayan, because he'd already committed arson and attempted murder and he was doing his damnedest to add me to his body count.

It was different with this woman. She'd probably done unspeakable things when she'd been alive and part of Chariot, but I was only familiar with the woman sharing my body who was guilty of nothing more than being a flirt. Souls in Sheol still existed on some level. The finality of this act made it cold-blooded murder.
