>Adam being the first man of god was used to seeing humanity throughout the years, decades and centuries.
>Being an observer has its perks but also its drawbacks. Adam has seen both the best and the worst of humanity and it's taken its toll on him.
>Adam is a very tired yet still strong individual but a lot of his vigor and hope he once had has withered eons ago.
>When Charlie comes to visit and regale him with the idea of redeeming sinners. He admires Charlie's hopefulness and determination but isn't pleased with her naivety.
>Adam stands up and informs her the sinners she's wanting to redeeming are in hell for a reason.
>Adam's informative speech then turns into a rant. He gives an example of a man who killed children simply for the pleasure of it. Another man who killed anyone for the right price and had no qualms who he killed or why.
>Adam even points out her friend Angel Dust. Who simply chooses to be in a cycle of sex and drugs and yet he does nothing to stop or even reduce it and points out how even she hasn't help him out.
>Charlie tries to respond but all that comes out is stutters or short utterances before she has to pause to think of an actual answer. Adam cuts her off and continues to rant.
>Charlie doesn't even try to respond to Adam anymore. She puts her head down and wipes away some of the tears that are sweeping down her face.
>Adam sees this and realized he has said too much and he stops himself. Charlie is now staring at the floor, Adam walks over to her and places his hand on her shoulder.
>Charlie looks up at Adam, Charlie's bright smile is gone, replaced with a dull sunken eyed frown.
>Adam tries to smile but it doesn't fully manifest. He tells Charlie he's sorry but it's probably best she should return home and maybe never come back here.
>Charlie does leave, however unbeknownst to Adam he sparked Charlie with a new idea.
>If she can't redeem sinners, maybe she can punish the worst of the worst.
