Sometimes it occurs to me that Bernard is very very lucky that the Cult of Dionysus seemed to have been sacrificing him for some strange “give Dionysus a human vessel” or “kill in the name of Dionysus” purpose… because the most notable sacrificial / blood related ritual of Dionysus to my understanding typically included sparagmos and omophagia. Also known as tearing apart the sacrifice with bare hands and then consuming its raw flesh.
Honestly, he lucked out in that regard. Tim just had to swing and hit one guy with a dagger instead of a crowd ready to dismember Bernard alive.
