Trudy: You... forgive me?
Akhilesh: It is not my place to judge a person by what they have done. That is between you and God.

Akhilesh: But I can see a change in you since you arrived. You see less of what ill the world has done to you and more of what you have done to it. That is the first step in finding forgiveness.

Akhilesh: I cannot heal your spirit, Trudy. I have done all that I can for your body, but that is all I can do. But I can point you in the right direction.

[[He offers her a copy of the Bible]]
Akhilesh: I feel you need to appeal to a higher power. Only then will you finally find peace.

{{Author's notes below the panel: "Some people may be confused by Akhilesh's reaction to Trudy's story. After all that we know she has done, how could anyone think to forgive her? Here's a few references that may explain his reaction: Matthew 7:1-5, Luke 6:37, Romans 14:4 and 14:10-13, 1 Corinthians 4:3-5 and 5:12-13, and James 4:11-12."}}
