As long as Jim died, Bonnie's heart would die with him, and she would finally be willing to accept Christopher's love.
As long as Jim died, Harvey would become a fatherless child, and Christopher would finally be able to take Harvey and Bonnie together with him. That way, June would no longer refuse to leave because of Harvey!
He had to do it. He had to kill Jim.
Killing him was the solution to everything!
Christopher fixed his gaze on Jim's face and sneered. "Jim, do you know how you'll be able to make up for your sins? Why don't you let me help you?
"Marrying Bonnie won't reduce your guilt toward her. The only way you'll be able to redeem yourself is to die, and everyone’s lives will be better soon after!"
Jim immediately took a step back upon hearing this.
To his surprise, his first instinct upon watching Christopher lunge toward him with a knife was not to run or hide.
Christopher...was right.
As long as he died, he would be able to redeem himself, and Bonnie would forgive him, would she not?
"Get away from him!"
All of a sudden, Luna and Joshua burst through the church doors, panting.
As she stormed into the room, the first thing Luna saw was Christopher lunging toward Jim with his knife.
"Jim!" she screamed at the top of her lungs,
her eyes bloodshot. "Jim, get away from him!
"Christopher has gone insane! He's really going to kill you!
"Bonnie is still alive. None of this has come to an end yet, so you can't die!"
Tears sprung into Luna's eyes as she screamed with all her might.
