I watched from the raised platform as everyone held up their torches, eager to kill me, and knew they'd all gone to the hill. Suddenly, fierce resentment washed over me. Why should I endure this? Why should I be burned to death for no apparent reason, even after I'd spent my whole life being a good person? Just as the flames were about to lick their way up my body, I broke free of the ropes that bound me to the stake and burst through the fire. I couldn't care less about the flames on my body as I signed furiously, "Take me to the hill, or I'll haunt all of you after my death!"

In his perspective, practicing these things isn’t suffocating but actually freeing him from any worry that Emerald would question his faithfulness and loyalty. And it will save them from heartache and headache.
