"You have done nothing wrong. You were victimized, as so many criminals and oppressors do, as so many of our brethren have been victimized. I know it is not easy to face the memories of what they did to you and what the being they put in your place did during this time, but you are not evil, Carol, and you did nothing wrong."
His voice was gentle and calm, and he spoke with a soft assurance. He was tired, H'ronmeer, he was tired, but the battle for her mind was done. Now he hoped she could, and would, listen to him.
"I know what it is like to be so mindbent. I was forced so in the early days of the occupation of my world. The things done in those days horrify me to this day. But I know they were not me. Not this me. And this was not you."
