"Conscience — Volume 2" by Hector Malot is a psychological novel likely written in the late 19th century.

As he grapples with the moral implications of his intentions, his psychological state and mental conflicts are explored in depth, presenting a rich tableau of his internal dilemmas. At the start of the volume, we see Saniel awaken from a restless sleep, distracted and disturbed by the presence of a knife, which he associates with his dark plan to murder Caffie. He meticulously goes through the steps of carrying out his deed, weighing the risks and internalizing the complexities of human behavior and conscience.
