I am frightened. I do not want to lose my father.

I have been confident in the skills of Monsieur Van Helsing, but since the incident with the rampaging vampires... I am afraid that my thoughts upon this trial have turned fearful.

Things are...not as grim as they may seem, as I feel that Mister Sorel's circumstances are quite different. He did not commit murder to satisfy an inward lust. His purposes were not nefarious in the same way as these monsters...Rather, he did not wish to see you in pain.

[He possessed a shred of humanity still, whereas these others did not.]

And he's held himself up to the standards of the laws of men, therefore he has proven himself remorseful of his deeds.

I do not feel that Mister Sorel is like those other beings, despite his conduct. He apologized for what he has done.

[No man that was to be considered a beast would do such a thing after assaulting Seward that night...But Raphael apologized. Surely, that spoke to some remorse for his misdeed.]

I am grateful that you were able to see him as such, monsieur. Many people tend to misunderstand him due to his proud manner. But I know father... Father only wants to do what he believes is right.

Yes, I suppose that is true...But my Professor had faith in him before I did, so you may say he's the one that opened my eyes to the possibility.

But...please take heart, Miss Sorel. It pangs me that a young lady such as yourself might be led to suffer because of injustice.

I will do my best, monsieur.

I do wish you and your father well...I know it's only a matter of time before they see that Raphael Sorel is a man of nobility, of the purest sense. He merely lost his way, I would say...But I think through you he has found it again.
