Once you know, you have to choose. But House doesn’t know, so he doesn’t have to choose.
Wilson knows.
I love your your Wilson's childlike religious concern over limbo that he carries into adulthood and manifests it into other forms, such as the fact that he knows that he knows better and the acceptance that House doesn't, and that is what keeps House safe. Add a bit of karmic flavoring and your wonderful emotionally evocative writing and you got yourself a winner! :)
On a personal note, I adore the realism of your childhood scene. As a Jewish kid I cannot tell you how many times I had that same unhappy conversation with kids anxious to spread their newly acquired catechism class knowledge with me (though they never ended in a fight, but that's probably because I was a girl). oh, and we played limbo in gym too. I had completely forgotten about that! Your story really resonated with me on many levels.
