[ Fates need more exposition than anyone else, even when they're part of the canon... it's too bad that Douman is just so bad at being candid, and when he is, it's just an entire chapter of evil villain exposition. We can only choose one with this absolute trashfire of a man.
That said: Douman stays where he is. Back upright on his feet, breathing in the pain of the tree and subsuming it in a way that is probably deranged. It shouldn't be comfortable, being here and being upright, but he's so comforted by the presence of anguish that it seems to bolster him, even when there's sweat beading on his forehead. ]
Have you never encountered one? A shadow of history, walking among you.
[ He puts his palm to his chest, above where his heart would be. ]
A Servant to the world's whimsー dead men walking. I, too, am one of them.
