Apparently the man had decided to play for both teams at once. We Others cannot serve the Light and the Dark at the same time. But for people it's simpler. That's the way most of them live anyway.

But not with his own hands, of course. Or the other way round. It was a sad thought, but Geser could have given the order to eliminate Victor.
