Damian may have scaled the wall to knock on a window instead of using the front door, which he sees as entirely too orthodox.

"Maybe this is your purgatory--working off those sins." In the way Damian says this, it's clear he doesn't really believe that. Heaven and Hell, even death itself, are abstract concepts to him.

"Well, that's the way I've been looking at it," he answered, a little uncomfortable to share as much as he was. "I chance to balance out the mistakes of the past, even though I doubt it'll do me any good if I ever end up back home."

"I don't know if it's so much about balance as outcome," Damian replies thoughtfully. "If everyone went around tallying up everything everyone did, it'd get old, fast. Not to mention you'd have to have a universal system for judging whether that was 'good' or 'bad'. Doesn't that seem a bit simplistic?"

Late nights, coffee, and stress are the perfect combination to make a ten-year-old wax philosophic, apparently.

Alex slumped against the wall and continued to nurse his coffee.

"I didn't write the rules, I just deal with the fallout when I apparently break them."

"That's dumb. If the rules are stupid, you shouldn't have to follow them."

He scoffed. "Just because you don't wanna follow the rules doesn't mean there's no one enforcing 'em."

"Well, if that enforcement worked in any sense, people like us wouldn't have to be around."

"That's just how they work, as far as I can tell. The greatest trick the devil ever played was convincing the world he doesn't exist."
