[i think he looks like a boxer okay dont judge me for saying anything about him wearing boxing gloves and a boxing belt later on]

[MIME POV]

*You had known John Reprieve for a while, and you had known about his struggle to best his sins, (quite literally, he had told you about having to quite literally beat the shit out of his sins, having to parry their attacks, lots of stuff, no wonder he had those boxing gloves and that belt.)

You yourself were one of John's sins, but strangely enough, he never really disliked you, he liked having you around, in fact, although that was most likely because you were his sin of self-pleasure...

...nevermind that, besides that, you and John had actually gotten along, he had told you about his attempts to reprieve, it seemed he was getting close and closer to reprieving every day until one day.

He did it.

He came back today, and he was drenched in black sweat, or it could've been blood from his sins, dunno, but he had come back, tired as hell and he yelled, triumphantly.

"I REPRIEVED!!!!" John yelled in victory, he had finally reprieved for his sins, he made it right, and he was excited to tell you.
