My father has committed...atrocious...crimes. I love him in spite of his past, but there are many on Arda who remember him as a monster too.

I saw a side to my Atar that made me cut ties with him and my uncles. He perished without me and I truly fear for his fëa. But while he is here, I hold no grudge against him. I see that he is bettering himself and I am glad of it.

Why can't you do the same?
