The priest explains that he has created an artificial sun so that vampires will not be able to escape from the church. He says that he took the orders of the church and gave the vampires only a limited amount of freedom, so they should hate him. The priest asks if he is going to stay in the cage to "atone for his parents' sins" , and the priest says that it is not his fault that he was born a vampire. He tells the priest that he and the vampire are very happy now, and that he cannot ask for anything more from the priest, because he is the future patriarch, and no one will judge his choice of his other half. He explains that the mark on the priest's heart will heal itself, but the mark will be etched in the heart of the vampire. If the priest betrays the church, he will be "turned into ashes" .
