About This Quote

The two children are the son of the creature, the parent who raised him since birth, who believed that he was never broken and that he is satisfactory. The parents then forgave them, knowing that they can't be held responsible for their actions. They also knew that the two children were only children at the moment; they were once innocent and full of innocence. They still are, but now they know how to make their own decisions along with the consequences, like the sentence written above.
