The Truth About Lying
Henry discovered that he still loved Rachel, even though
she'd moved on. That he resented his sister for being right
about him. That he was terrified of failure more than he
cared about success.
Jinji learned that she'd sabotaged her own career because
she was afraid of becoming like her father. That she pushed
people away before they could leave her. That she was
lonely in a way that no amount of code could fix.
Vincent found out that he still believed in God, but he
hated Him. That he'd left the priesthood not because he'd
lost faith, but because he was angry that faith wasn't enough
to stop suffering. That he was terrified of dying without
having made a difference.
Claire, who volunteered to be tested, discovered that
she'd stayed angry at Henry not because of what he'd done,
but because forgiving him would mean admitting she'd
wasted two years on resentment. That she was jealous of his
success even as she judged him for it. That she was scared of
ending up alone like their mother.
They sat in Jinji's living room after that session, the truth
hanging in the air like smoke.
"Well," Jinji said finally. "That was fucking awful."
"But necessary," Vincent added. "If we're going to ask the
world to do this, we had to do it first."
