"Does he do it from spite or revenge or does he just lash out because he's cornered? Does he just copy the only behaviour he's been shown? He's nothing but kind before all of that happens. For months." Crowley was not sure why he found himself arguing morality with the church boy, but here he was. Maybe not the worst, he figured, showing someone like that a less black and white view. "Seems like there are at the very least a couple monsters in that book. Or maybe humanity is the monstrous concept."
