#“wow I wonder how the jack of smiles story is written” oop all murder

For @hurdygurdywizard, who asked about guilt and secret (I couldn't edit the ask sorry)

guilt: What is your OC guilty about? How do they handle their guilt? Do they try to avoid guilt, or do they accept it?

Hiram is SO guilty but he's too self absorbed to be remorseful. He's confident he can manage whatever comes his way and in those rare instances when he has a "oh god what have I done" moment, it's not because he feels guilty but because he should've predicted better outcomes for his actions. He admits to be unapologetically fallible, but never guilty. He will admit to be "a bit sorry" only if he has to.

Here's a short non-comprehensive list of things he should be a bit sorry about:

secret: What's one secret your OC never wants anyone to know about them?
