Under Adrian's "moral strangulation of purity", Lima also raised the white flag and surrendered.
"Ahem, I'm Father Lima. I was impulsive and anxious and made a mistake in judgment. I apologize to you here."
Lima's face turned red. An elderly man who was far superior to Adrian in both status and age, he apologized to the young man in a humble manner.
But in Lima's heart, besides shame there was also a hint of relief.
At least, his image in Adrian's mind did not continue to deteriorate.
