Prison Scene: Darryl Talking to William

"I should have been killed a long time ago. My life shouldn't be spared like this. I shouldn't be living right now," I said, referring to my report to the police, turning myself in.

"You did the right thing. Turning yourself in was the right thing."

"No!" I slammed my fist down. "I should have let the family torture me, but I was a coward. I was a coward... I just don't know. Looking back, I just think to myself, 'What the hell happened?' I shouldn't have let it escalate this far. Why did God have my life spared when I didn't deserve it? Why? Why didn't I die and get sent to Hell?"

William was silent for a moment, a stare between us both, a contest before he gave his answer. "Because God saw potential in you that He didn't see in other criminals."
