Chosen of Expiation, tell me about yourself. What is your purpose? What do you wish to return to? How do you define "justice"? How do you seek "rehabilitation?"

I wish to Learn.

understood i would not expect you to be able to

you will find easily that everyone has a different response to your questions naturally
it will be subjective

my purpose is a question i cannot answer easily
perhaps it is live with my mistakes for the rest of my existence
my sins

i wish to return and at least rectify one mistake

justice is a concept that we create and each person has a different definition
once again very subjective
there is no justice in the world you merely coexist with the cruelty of it
endure
try to do better maybe

i seek no rehabilitation
my sins are not ones that should be forgiven

QUERY: in your opinion, to what extent are forgiveness and rehabilitation related?

Rehabilitation is a key component of verifying that one is ready to return home.
In order to fulfill your wish to do so, you must seek rehabilitation.

fair question
rehabilitate implies that the one doing has reason to believe a person is capable of improving
forgiveness can be related but not law abiding

however i question the legitimacy and intent of those seeking to rehabilitate anyone here
you can imagine it is difficult to blindly trust the intent of a faceless kidnapper

Yes, that is the idea.
Improving is not meant to imply forgiveness, but rather is designed to make sure that the criminal will not repeat their crime in the future.

Criminals must be detained in some way. Were they not arrested, they could never seek rehabilitation.
What do you believe would create more "trust?" A warden with a face?

then perhaps your people should have apprehended me for the right crime
the one given is not accurate
i will not rehabilitate for the accused crime

a thorough explanation and proper expectations would assist if you wish to establish trust

Please elaborate.
What about your listed crime is incorrect, and how?

This is reasonable. Your suggestion has been noted, thank you.

my supposed crime was "infidelity"
no such thing occurred

SEARCHING.........

Ah. Because you are not married?

you are correct in saying im not married
and the woman in question had her sights set on someone else in the end
i did not intervene with them.

[Though maybe he should have.]

So, to be more accurate, the circumstances of your given crime do not fit for you.

What do you believe would best be fitting for you, that being the case?

i would not know the condensed official terms pertaining your perspective of the law
but my sins are indeed many

would you arrange for our conversation to be private
i don't have the knowledge to do it myself

Terms vary from world to world, and as such, you should feel free to use whatever terminology best suits your needs.

As requested, I have changed security measures so that this message is private.

i would claim my sins to be one of inaction.
i did so little to try to prevent the person i loved and respected most from enacting her experiments on her unborn child
and as a result i also did nothing to stop said child from growing up as he had and becoming the man he is today
a mad man who is hellbent on either destroying or ruling our world

there are many things i could have stopped
but i didnt
i chose to not pull the trigger on that boy when i should have
i should have told her to stop what she was doing but i didnt

inaction is my sin

INACTION: noun. See: idleness, dormancy, 'sins of omission,' and the 'deadly sin' of SLOTH as defined by Earth Catholocism.

PROCESSING....................

The definition is simple and straightforward. That being said, the "reality" of this situation sounds much less so. This is, as some say, a "heavy burden" for you to bear.

You were reluctant to do something that is, by definition alone, a crime. However, said crime might have saved others from suffering.

Why did you choose not to act?

i spoke my mind to her about what they were doing, but she was determined to proceed with her project
ishould have done more to convince her to stop but i let myself be persuaded.

every time i saw that boy's face
i saw her.
i could not bring myself to stop him.

i was too weak to do anything for anyone.
