Juliana nodded. She understood what he meant by the feeling that he owed them something, because this was a sentiment she'd seen echoed across countless other testaments (well, not countless— she didn't talk to so many werewolves who had bitten other people, but enough that there was a definite trend that emerged). Personally she found this fascinating, particularly when so many of them usually disassociated the identity of the full moon creature from their own. She knew Kieran did. In his letters he wrote It, capital I, when referring to himself on full moons, and yet he still assumed responsibility for the wolf's actions when things went wrong.

"Have you done anything else to... repay that debt, as it were?" she asked hesitantly. She didn't necessarily want to imply that she agreed with his assumption that he owed this person anything — she didn't want to influence his thinking on this one way or another — but she wanted to dig in deeper on this point, for the article.
