Molly couldn't stand to hear the pain in his voice. He wanted her to understand so badly and she wanted to be understood in turn, but it was still hard to know the idea caused him so much anxiety.
It was surprising to hear that he'd enjoyed killing and Molly frowned a little as she worked through what he'd said and how he felt when he said it. She had killed and she had thought it justified when she'd done it, but she couldn't say she'd enjoyed it. It was what she'd had to do - it was war. But when Will had killed he's been stuck in an altered reality...who knew if that had affected him and the way he thought and felt at the time. Considering they were living in a domed city that they'd been pulled to by some strange force, the idea that Wills thoughts and actions and his feelings too, had been manipulated wasn't a far fetched one. His empathetic mind wouldn't let him forget those feelings though and he had to live with the knowledge that at one time, in one place, he'd enjoyed taking a life.
The one firm idea in her mind was that Will was not evil. Molly had come up against true evil before and that was not Will. He clearly had his dark side, perhaps darker than most, but it didn't change the fact that he wasn't inherently that evil. Molly was as sure of that as she was of anything.
"I can see you without the Soulgaze, Will." She said shifting closer, tugging him in to kiss him gently, one soft kiss after another until she pulled back and let their foreheads press together. "I don't need it to get to know you and I don't need it to trust you, either." Molly kissed him again and smiled. "The slow way is fine with me."
