"Another... 'present' for me? Really, what's your obsession? Do you get off on this?"
I am sorry, my creator didn’t tell me what the consequences of doing these would be…
"Well, let me enlighten you then. Every time you leave one of these 'gifts', a little piece of someone's soul dies inside. Is that what you want?
