Yes, this is a nice soliloquy by Abel.  Ritualistic catharsis can be very good on the spirit in the long run.

If I do end up failing one my classes this semester, which would be the first time I failed a class, I plan on having a good sobbing fit, and then not get out of bed for at least 24 hours, in order to help myself get over it. :sigh :(

*Charline poofs*  This is why responding to any initial crisis with insane amounts of violence is the best course of action!  No regrets afterward!   No matter how it turns out, after 400 years you can always say, "Well, I slaughtered as many as I could..."  >:3

What if you regret killing someone?

Somehow...even through all of this, I can't beleive that Abel's mom could hate him.

Aniz? Yes. Abel? I can't see that as well.
I mean, she could all the sudden come out like Devin's mom, but I don't see that.

What would be really bad is if Abel's mom wakes up and goes: "who are you?"

Well in in Abel's moms defence, It seemed from that final scene of her when Abel was taken that she more or less regretted that she couldn't do anything to help Abel.

So it probably won't be like Devin's mom. She'll probably will be more relieved that her son is still alive, that is of course if she still remembers Abel's face.

Remembers, AND understands that he would not have changed.

After all, Mom saw her little boy grow from infancy to adolescence at a normal pace-to her, he does age.  She would have seen other kids grow from adolescence to adulthood as she aged.

Now here comes her "son".  Completely unchanged.  

Not at all looking like "my son plus almost forty years", but "my son, exactly as he was the last time I saw him...that is, exactly like what he'd look like if a doppelganger named Aniz was mimicking him to mess with me."

But not all of them.  Kria, for instance was about 19 or something when they first met.  Also there would have been other creatures of Abel's rough age.  We have no idea how long Hennya would have lived, for example...

Indeed. She was living in a Demon town. Demons age roughly as slow as a Cubi. She's had 40 years to learn about Cubi as well. She'll probably not be as shocked. There still will be some but once the whole thing registers it'll be fine.
