【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第二十四章：宣泄 Unleashed(20)

“Don’t ask me,” I replied, trying to smile for her but not quite managing it. “I’ll always forgive you, ‘Rae.” I raised my head to the skies again and closed my eyes. “Ask Him.”
I could feel disbelief coming off of her in waves, but after a moment she let out a weak, crackling sigh, and chuckled quietly.
“Well… I suppose… I may as well,” Isarae squeezed my hand gently. “How… how does it go?”
“Just say you’re sorry,” I said softly.
I heard and felt her swallow hard, then take a deep breath that seemed to make her ribs creak under the strain and, beneath my fingers, I felt her relax as Isarae parted her lips to pray for what I imagined would be the first time in her life.

“God-Emperor of Mankind…” Isarae began in a frail voice. “Forgive me… for I… have harmed… thy daughter… whom I love… above all.” Her weary voice began to crack, not with weakness this time but with grief. “Father of Man… I am sorry… f-forgive me… and though I know… you have no love… for my breed… I love… your daughter.”
Another breath, raspy and pained.
“Forgive me… and if need be… forgive her.”
A sob escaped my lips as Isarae pleaded for my own redemption on the heels of her own.
