HBK Ch 7

Here, a da60296232 place where acbe877d71 people sit 0da9c70344 and listen 7e2fe71801 to the 0f31071d5d groans they 4583362b60 pour out e2fb0e2d92 to one 58f5821203 another.61c67cb120c96343

A place where b14354d256 the young man b8b970fc22 grows pale, withers a619a22a26 like a ghost, 9a2ed5a71f and soon dies.12fb76498067db78

A place where just thinking of it brings a flood of overwhelming sadness. [1]

In the desolate 1797468d6a city drenched by 7b8616d442 torrential rain, Siobh 016240183b Swinton’s filthy gray 95b7e6ef48 eyes welled up d2eb3f2f57 darkly as he 33eb008e69 heard that voice e8097ad496 resonating softly. The prayer flowed from 4d05f0f1b7 the man kneeling at 2aadfbf8b4 the feet of Honey 4e23848f2b Swallow, who lay sprawled 5bd4153e41 on the cold black 20108faee5 cement floor, exposing pale 6980d3eb63 flesh like a fish c940376c92 dead belly-up in a ba2dfb21bd polluted pond.b41b6bc876ddd471

The man 9970a89947 reached out dc57ded387 a trembling, 82438b753f wet hand 0ef959abf6 toward Honey daf7b2fc8b Swallow, who 5c9302bb44 was sobbing 5338e2ea90 with his 29c6cd8b85 entire body df5cd0cf39 shaking in 11fa3e808f grief. But that hand couldn’t 65a797d139 touch Honey Swallow’s body, 1333d34d2e wandering in the air 03846231ee before finally falling to 7cbd125523 the ground. Instead, the 6c9a12ed29 man recited fc526760a1 the prayer.7d1b53761151a006

Siobh Swinton knew 1c51decc46 the meaning of e0918f90a7 that prayer. It was an apology dafeffc6bb for what could not 679a590cd9 be embraced, an atonement, 27ca4a4347 and a lament. Siobh Swinton, too, had 3da82a1a2f once knelt at those 8f8531bd32 feet, prostrating himself and b518f51475 pleading. But he had only 4b0af1ee17 clutched his face with a148dc9474 both hands and shaken 447280b986 his head.b5e47609033b3b63

Like tearing the wings 0def0a2ca2 off a screaming Ezra 90ac47ea17 Baltar, Siobh broke one f174f9ff07 of his arms, crushing 56424ffc33 it and throwing him 257e861755 at his feet. The more 126b9abb3d Ezra resisted, cb9afcc3c7 the more 09f5e5416b Siobh could 684f6b8fe1 confront his dfa89b2dbd own growing bc5026dbd8 madness with 0597b9be18 cold reason. Only after bbab8c29c0 ruining him 9baf85f3fc beyond recovery 0c060e3dd2 could Siobh 7e6f8af795 look back 4b5c470c51 at the f7020429c6 cracked and dae4cd9fcf collapsed traces d6fc1b65b0 of the aa159e35c1 path he’d b625a1fa9b walked.34551b908a7574e8

What do you so 614de000e6 desperately seek from those 844472b7c6 who treat you worse a5503b68dd than livestock? You are precious to 740dde01dd me. Only to me. Why do you beg 33be9e2936 and plead with those 8d90b7a43c who don’t value you? Look at me. Look at me. Smile at me f07f9a3168 just once more, e3efa50e29 Ezra. Ezra Baltar.944d21ad79ca96c0

Trapping the Noringer count’s 4d103a0da7 family was as easy 4a2e640c94 as twisting a child’s 80edb5fff4 neck. The power struggle over 4e7f6b6c9c the oil fields in aebf670eb2 East Bay was a d03790aa5b perfect tool to bring 93298d9274 the Noringer count’s house, 7937f5e417 which controlled half of e579864a02 East South, to ruin.1158773eb219afb0

In Ezra Baltar’s name, cb1e65fc90 Siobh sent a letter 76df966d7a to the noble faction 5fceb80505 testifying to the Noringer 7a0b048f18 count’s treason. They used the guaranteed a7e646b3a8 identity of the Swinton a053975684 ducal house’s next heir 374e576a2b as leverage to list 680341c1a6 Ezra Baltar’s letter as 6e359a4dca evidence. In exchange, Siobh b67146c313 Swinton was to 759340688e receive Ezra Baltar. But the night the 1c8ecbf980 Noringer count’s family lost bf6dd1474a their heads, Ezra Baltar da7fec04b2 vanished.10a1d6f503e32331

If he could 05e4ea711f just meet him, eec682a337 he wanted to 926c50b07b kneel at his 29762a9242 feet and beg 8c1806be64 forgiveness. If he could 1f19303115 turn back time, fd43835156 Siobh Swinton would af1014fc61 offer his own f20e0ae870 neck.4a1cd65df94381fc

For thousands of nights, 1cb5382240 meeting Ezra Baltar in 42d91bac90 horrific nightmares, Siobh suffered 7d366a7dbe the regret of a 586d920396 heart torn to shreds. Siobh Swinton changed 76557931d9 his face, his dcda7b7ec7 identity, and wandered e6ff887763 like a crazed af73b5f92d beast through the 15df6b3c5a dens of bloodthirsty 717b002940 animals.

You’re just 9bbc7f9028 a tool. Beyond the value b155c4a6ef of resembling Ezra 5f63b4cc15 Baltar, you’re nothing, 751cce0338 Honey Swallow.
