( merciless, untrustworthy. without letting himself dwell on the particulars, he chooses to take them both as a point of pride and, naturally, shame. more important is how he's gotten such a reputation in a place he's never stepped foot in before. he hasn't even killed anyone yet. who's out there dragging his name through the mud— hughie.
still, he knows who he is, what he does. it stopped being about who he wants to be a long time ago. )

there was a kid. russell. i knew him as an adult. firefist. was hunting him down. but he figured it out. found my wife, daughter, murdered them.
so i went back in time to kill him. change the future. so it never happened. didn't care that he was a kid. didn't care that he had no idea what he did.
[Normal stuff.]
nearly finished the job. couple of times. but someone got in the way.
( butcher is in the unique position of knowing what it’s like to see someone kill the person you love. it’s not identical, but it sounds like the children in both of their cases are innocent, at least at the moment of their confrontations.
ryan didn’t mean to kill becca, and this child version of russell is oblivious to his future crimes. )

but if you're asking what my assessment is, i was provided with the notion that you were merciless.
i'm not sure it's necessarily true, but it can be hard to trust someone who would do anything to make the means meet the ends.
speaking from experience, of course.
[And Butcher wrestled more than 3 words out of him so maybe he's onto something.]
