[ Matt shrugs at the comment on his guilt. He's heard as much from Foggy, and it's an old song and dance. ]
I'm Catholic.
[ He's going for a joke, but Murdock will be able to hear the truth in it. Matt's faith matters to him. Doing right isn't just about justice, it's about the moral good—it's about absolving himself and making the world good. Making it just, and doling out punishment to those who the devil needs to find.
Really, this place has Matt itching under his skin about the merits of his own kind of justice, but that's not what they're talking about now. ]
Pretty much, yeah. [ Another shrug. They don't make for a very convincing pair of blind men with all these silent gestures. ] I was all out of father figures at that point, Father Langdon would take my confession but... that's not the same. I had anger issues, and I started boxing to keep up with Stick's training as much as I could. But school, undergrad—it was all "normal."
[ As normal as it is when you're blind and have superpowers, anyway. And lol. "Had" anger issues. What a good joke. He wants to ask how it went for Murdock, but he'll give the man space to tell him. Honestly, this feels a bit like confession already, but Matt won't presume Murdock's faith. ]
