"Nobody hates you more than you do"

Crowley's words haunt him when all else is quiet and the world is asleep.

What is the punishment for all he has caused? How does the balance weigh against the

Another lie, another secret, another one-sided decision, always for his brother's own good.

He tells himself this.

But, now, his brother despises him. Of this, he is certain.

Perhaps, this is the appropriate penalty. Nothing is more painful to him.
