Sette's desperate enough to get him back in control that she's laying out some pretty big secrets here. But she's terrified of that stupid giant crow, and her every instinct is screaming at her that once she shows up, the game is over.
I know Duane is acting a damn fool but man, he is being pulled in a hundred different directions and he feels like everyone's little bitch. If nothing else, Sessine made him feel like he could make a difference in the world; that he hasn't been through hell for nothing. But Sette has never made him feel like anything but a manipulated moron, and he feels that very keenly now, after seeing all her sudden abilities.
He doesn't know what to do! So he clings to what he DOES know, and it's all ugly, petty, small, and hateful.
The shrine's lessons would matter a lot more if he hadn't met Lemuel up on that roof. Not only has Mikaila's survival completely unmoored him, but Lemuel's chastisements and rejection shook him to his core. Well, he can do THIS. He can make sure that bitch dies.
Everyone's a mess! :D
