Description:

"You're not a monster,” I said. But I lied.
What I really wanted to say was that a monster is not such a terrible thing to be.
From the Latin root monstrum, a divine messenger of catastrophe, then adapted by the Old French to mean an animal of myriad origins: centaur, griffin, satyr.
To be a monster is to be a hybrid signal, a lighthouse: both shelter and warning at once.

Keeping a promise is all well and good, but rarely is much thought given to their weight or consequences, regardless if they are kept or broken.
Living for others, if one cannot find a reason in themselves, while a good stop-gap, is no way to truly live the sole life you are given.
Sometimes, to protect others, monsters need to stay monsters.
And redemption, while something to strive for, is not always what is needed.
