YOU DON'T KNOW ME VERY WELL THEN, BECAUSE EVERYONE I'VE MET HAS REJECTED ME AFTER LEARNING MY SECRETS, SO TAKE THAT AS A WARNING BEFORE YOU GET TOO CLOSE TO ME
Zeethro
i don't care, i can tell by looking into your eyes that you're a good person, no matter what you did or didn't do.

I SPENT MOST OF MY NIGHTS WALKING ALONE, IT'S WHEN I FEEL CLOSEST TO THE TRUTH PHOBIAS ARE COMMON; FEAR OF MURDERS, OF DOG BARKS, OF Heights, OF PUBLIC SPEAKING, OF ANTS... I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOBIA, BUT I'M AFRAID OF THE DARK. FOLK TRADITIONS FROM EASTERN EUROPE TAUGHT ME THAT SOMETIMES THE ANSWERS LIE IN THE SHADOWS PHILANTHROPY IS DEAD, SO MANY PEOPLE DIE FOR NOTHING, SO MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FOR NOTHING, IT MAKES ME SAD, AND I ASPIRE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
