[Vatheon translates everything, so the fact that most of this is in French while he usually speaks in English doesn't matter. Of course, Ky hadn't intended any of this to matter either, because he hadn't deliberately set up his SFC to record. This isn't the kind of thing Ky would usually choose to share, but he's tired. He's been pushing himself as hard as he can, and he's only in his apartment now because he knows he's past the point where he'll do any good on the streets.

He's fully clothed and kneeling on the floor of his room. His SFC sits on his dresser, set up well to show him. Although his words are at first too quiet to get picked up, they grow a little louder.]

-- wounded Your heart. Lord, let me be freed from the bonds of evil through Your unending love so that I may be put back on the path of righteousness. Father, forgive me for what I have been and have mercy upon me.

Lord, keep my parents' souls close to You in Your grace and know that for all the days of my life which I have been given by Your love, I will pray for them. Please forgive them for their sins, bless them, and allow them to dwell always with You.

Please help us to catch this murderer. Let no more people be hurt or harmed by them, and allow those who have suffered already to be healed and be held close by those who love them. Give us the strength and wisdom to carry out Your divine will and ensure that justice prevails for all of Your creation. Let those sacrifices which have been made not go in vain.

O Holy Spirit, take me as Your disciple. Guide me, illuminate me, and make me worthy of Your gifts. Bind my hands that they may do no evil; open my eyes so that I may see the world clearly around me; strengthen my heart that evil may not dwell within me. I am Your humble servant Lord. Where You lead, I will follow; where there is darkness I will bring Your light; where there is temptation I will overcome it. Command me in Your strength and lead me to the fullness of Your truth.

I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen.

[He's just going to kneel there for a moment, the plan is to do so until he gathers up the emotional and physical strength to get ready for sleep.]

[Jade listens as he sits quietly in his own room, a small, faint buzzing noise going as he himself stays quiet. there's a small device in his hand as Ky speaks on reverently. Whether it was out of respect or just curiosity that kept Jade quiet as of now wasn't clear.

When he finishes, Jade's curiosity got the better of him.]

To which deity do you pray?

[Ky shrugs, but a question is a question and it's a straightforward enough one.]

To the One God that I believe in: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Does he listen?

[Jade's voice is passive and hard to read. A bit of prodding and a certain lack of caution that Jade was presenting with his curiosity. Also a part of him that always forgot to try to be courteous.]
