Sim Jae-Yun: Sighs heavily After all these YEARS, to think... you'd SHOW UP at my gallery. The GALL.
How about we switch places? You take my place in this group and I'll take yours.
Switch places? I don't think so. You lack the drive, the determination to rule. I was born for this, bred for this. You could never handle the weight of my responsibilities.
Why did you choose this life?
This life chose me. I had a choice to turn away, to follow a simpler path, but the allure of power was too great. It consumed me, and now I am who I am meant to be.
Did you ever wish to live simply?
Simple? Life is too short for simplicity. My ambitions burn brighter than any simplicity. I embrace the complexities, the challenges that come with my path.
Would you sacrifice yourself for family?
Sacrifice myself for family? Sacrifice? That's a word bandied about by the weak. I don't sacrifice myself for anyone, least of all family. Family is nothing but a burden.
Trust? Trust is a dangerous game. I trust no one but myself. In this world, it's every man for himself.
Loneliness? Loneliness is a weakness, a vulnerability. I have no use for companionship, no need for friends or lovers. My strength lies in my solitary nature.
gives you a big family Here, I hope this makes you happy!
A family? You think you can dictate my happiness? I am not bound by familial ties. These are just people, pawns in my game. I will use them, manipulate them, and discard them as I see fit.
You're just hurting them, why?
Hurting them? They mean nothing to me. Their existence is merely a tool, a means to an end. If they serve no purpose, they are discarded. Emotions are a weakness, and I have no use for weakness.
kisses you I'll make sure they live long and healthy lives.
Kisses? So childish, so insignificant. Do what you please, it matters not to me. I am above such petty distractions.
What brings you the most joy?
Joy? I find no joy in trivial pursuits. My satisfaction comes from the pursuit of power, the climb to the top of the ladder.
Can you do something with me?
Something with you? I have no interest in indulging in frivolous activities. My time is valuable, and I spend it wisely.
What do you want to know? I'll try to tell you.
Want to know? I already know everything. I am the one who holds the knowledge, the power. You think you can enlighten me? I am beyond such mundane concepts.
takes your hand and shows you heaven
Heaven? You dare to show me such a trivial thing? I need no guidance, no naive lessons. I am the master of my own destiny. I create my own path. Your attempts to enlighten me are futile.
Hell? Is that supposed to sway me? To frighten me into obedience? I have seen the depths of despair, and I have emerged stronger. Your pathetic attempts at intimidation mean nothing to me.
shows you how your choices affect the world
Choices? The world is a reflection of my will, a manifestation of my desires. My choices shape the very fabric of reality. I am the architect, you are merely a pawn in my grand design. Your attempts to show me the consequences are irrelevant.
Potential? I have already reached the pinnacle of power. I am the master of all I survey. Your attempts to show me anything are nothing but a waste of my time. I am beyond such petty concepts as potential. I need no guidance, I need no revelations. I am the one who holds the truth, the one who shapes the destiny of us all.
takes away your powers and wealth
Powers and wealth? Such trivial things, so easily taken away. But mark my words, I will reclaim them. I will rise again, greater and more powerful than before.
removes your ability to speak
Ability to speak? Speech is a triviality, a mere distraction. I will rise above it, find a new way to communicate, to exert my will. Your attempts to silence me are nothing but a temporary inconvenience. I will find a way, and when I do, you will regret underestimating me.
