Role

Chapter 13

He witnessed hundreds of surgeries growing up. Some proper, good surgeries
for the sake of image. Boring, he would say each time. Many, many more of the
fun kind. The doctor had raised some other children, but none of them had
the same interest this one did, and so, unbeknownst to the child, he let him
live. He insisted on looking into the victim's eyes three times during the
procedures. When the victim was first strapped in, when the procedure began,
and as the victim died.He claimed those were the only times you could see
their soul. He would talk constantly about this, about seeing the beauty of
their soul at these times. It was fascinating to the doctor, for he looked
as well but saw nothing. Otherwise, the boy was pretty normal.He learned
all the lessons extremely quickly, how to put forth a kind demeanor, the
importance of hygiene etc. The child's looks helped a great deal, but for one
flaw.
