No. No, no, no, no— this can't be happening. There's no way. Salem refuses to believe it. That is not who he thinks it is, despite the fact that everything adds up.

Salem can't be right, though. He just can't be. Salem must be losing his mind, or maybe it's wishful thinking. Salem refuses to believe it's anything else. It has to be because the guy has been on his mind so much lately, due to recent events. That's all it is!
