Grahame knows what Cal is doing, of course, and resents it even as relief sweeps over him.

(Mercy, compassion, pity, and lies
Condescension, shielding of eyes
)

He prefers unveiled cruelty.

(Dire impatience, spiteful asides
Ridicule, shame
)

It all finishes up the same in the end, anyway, and a knife to the heart is so much faster. But he gave up his right to object to any treatment Cal might care to subject him to long ago, didn't he?

"Don't you want to know why I'm here?" he asks abruptly. "The sooner I've done my business, the sooner you can wake up and be rid of me."
