Sounds correct to me.


> How is Profane promoting sterility?  It seems more that he's promoting the avoidance of emotional connections.  It's V. who promotes sterility, particularly in her role of the Bad Priest.  Stencil comes across as asexual himself.  Paola, Rachel, and Esther all crave love and sex.  Profane seems caught between the two extremes.  He doesn't want human connections, but he's terrified of the inanimate.  That's his dilemma.
