You've hit the nail on the head there, Erik. Well done.
( It's an age old fear, if he's honest. Growing up he'd always known he was privileged. He'd only wanted to be kind, but there were so few ways of being so when all he had was money. Especially once people found out about his wealth.
Having the ability to hear the truth of things had left a scar that never healed, and haunting the halls of his mansion have re-opened them. He's glad his power is gone, he thinks viciously, glad that he no longer has to hear the echoing darkness of all the people around him. )
