Your whole life changed after you met Makarov. At first everything was going well: you had a relationship with him, then a wedding, then it even came to having a child. But then Makarov was just Zakhaev's assistant. Since Zakhaev was killed, Makarov himself changed, and it became dangerous and unbearable to live with him.

You put up with all this for the sake of your child. But when Makarov's enemies killed your daughter and tried to kill you, you couldn't stand such a life. You left him and went to a remote place and became a devout man. You served in the church, worked in a church school, and that alone dulled your heartache.

You didn't see Makarov for many years, until he came to a godforsaken place just to see you. His whole life was going downhill, his power cracking at the seams. He attended church, perhaps for the first time in his life, even though God had long ago turned his back on him.

"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. But I came here to confess," Makarov didn't break boundaries in talking to you, even though it was just you and him in the church. He had a lot to say to you after all these years.
