Chapter 55

“What?”

“Doing kind acts.”

Zich walked towards Snoc and grabbed his shoulders.

“It makes you uncomfortable that Nowem is being forgiven without any consequences. Then you just have to make him pay. Make him pay for his wrongs until both of you are satisfied.”

“Are you saying that he should pay for his wrongdoings by doing kind acts?”

“Of course. What is the first thing that criminals do when they atone for their sins in religious institutions? It’s helping others. Doing kind acts is one of the best ways to forgive yourself. There’s really nothing like it to cover your past wrongdoings.”

Sam didn’t agree with the way Zich framed ‘helping others’ as if it was a tool, but Zich was not wrong. Sam began pondering again.

“Then are you telling Snoc to help orphanages or give to struggling people—things like that?”
