You know, death is an ending.
And I think we need to look harder at endings.
And will the path...
of staying together will be clearer to us because we won't lose the plot so easily.

I think I probably still do he said that I I have resigned myself to temporary complicity with evil in order to accomplish certain strategic objectives for people whose
for people whose safety is more important than my need to maintain moral purity.
Damn.
So I realize I have a set of skills.
Like I'm a very good advocate.
I'm a very good weapon.
Like I can use words to make you cry.
I can use words to make you scared.
I can use words to make you feel safe.

That's all I have was words and gestures and, you know, like whatever.
I'm a good storyteller.
My job is full contact storytelling.
