[cursive jolt]

« soi » is the reflexive so 'in himself'

[south drum]

what does this mean

tho

pas en soi

not in itself

[cursive jolt]

I understood it as, '(he doesn't believe) in himself… but the guilty was aware of his life'

as in he might've lived a life of bad stuff but doesn't believe that he was bad

but of course more context is welcome

[south drum]

it was a question about a giant insect monster

cant remeber the exact question

but son existence is refering to the insect creature

the question mayb have been did he see the insect and i respond pas en soi mais le coupable etc

[cloud fulcrum]

Not [the aforementioned thing] in itself.

[south drum]

oh kinda like saying pas exactement

[stiff shore]

"not in and of itself" is the English expression
