"Michel: If the tale you showed me was the whole truth... then I would have said you could revile those heartless men as much as you pleased. But I refuse to believe that's the whole story. The men I saw beyond the first three doors had genuine concerns and worries. They felt things—real, human emotions—even if those things ultimately led them down a path of destruction. Wanting to do something nice for the one you care about, being disgusted at things you've done, hiding your urges from those around you. You certainly couldn't call them good men, but they were real people with real conflicts. The Witch, Morgana: So you're saying I'm lying? Well, I can't say I blame you. Who would believe the word of a witch? Michel: I don't think you falsified your account, Morgana... The tragedy—no, the grisly reality you described—I don't doubt any of that happened. You wouldn't be here otherwise. The Witch, Morgana: ... Michel: But I've learned something in my years... "reality" exists from more than one perspective. The Witch, Morgana: That doesn't change what happened. That two-faced young man deceived me, the beast severed my arm, and the greedy, power-hungry lord used me for his own personal gain. Michel: Events by themselves do not tell the whole story. Only when you take into account their circumstances, what they thought and felt, their perspectives—only then can you say you've reached the truth."
