Kevins Philosophy WIP [GUANO]

So the mystery behind why Kevin is an insane killer is unveiled in a few ways i think, verbally, written and thru action.

Jenni asks for the first time early on, 1994, no kills under her belt but has watched him kill. They're driving to Salem to teach Jenni how he scouts. 

"Does it feel good when you kill someone?" Jenni asks. She'd been rolling the question around in her head for a while.

'It feels right.' Kevin signs one handed, slow so she can understand, eyes never leaving the road.

Jenni takes that and mulls it over, brows furrowed.

"It feels right, so that means what you're doing is right?"

He nods.

"That sounds like bullshit. Like, be honest, why do kill these people"

Kevin takes a moment, the silence settling in before responding.

"I do it because I can." 

And that opens a different path for Jenni's thoughts to tumble down. She reflects on how she's seen him work, crushing, mutilating, moving like a force of nature rather than a man. Because he can, because there's nothing that can physically stop him short of a gun. And even then, as ridiculous as it is to believe, a part of Jenni thinks even that wouldn't dent him.

Because he can.

"You're insane."

He nods.

----------------------------

late 90s, post Boxcutter, it comes up again

"It's my philosophy." Kevin states simply, pulling his hair back into a curly high pony. 

"Since when do you have a philosophy?" Jenni notices how he hesitates, shifting in his spot on the floor. Fiddles with pens on the coffee table for a moment, eyes flicking between nothing and everything.

"Always." he rasps, saying nothing more.

"....Well, spill!"

"You won't get it." 

"Try me. I've seen worse from you."

He honest to god sticks his tongue out at her. If Jenni wasn't comfortable on the couch she would have lunged over and bit him.

So his philosophy is that there is a predetermination of fate and purpose. Everything is as it should be and will happen as is. Some people are instruments and he is the instrument of fate and luck and doles it out through torture and murder. All other killers, abusers, etc. are false prophets/ false gods and to prevent their cycles (actions and consequences) from affecting his own cycles and work they have to die. To successfully end their cycles of blasphemy and violence he has to kill them himself in a specific fashion (usually how they killed). So tldr his philosophy is 'Closing the cycle by his own hand' This is fate, this is predetermined, there is nothing they or anyone can do to stop him.

And Jenni hears all this. He's unwavering as he speaks, like its the most natural thought process in the world. 

"Dude you're sooooo fucking cracked."

Kevin frowns, the scar distorting his lips.
