Correct, you did do everything I asked of you but your desperation intrigues me. People like you
intrigue me. I’ve seen a generation of minds eaten alive by desperation such as yours and I’d like
to understand what could be so important that you’d let your mind take control.

The mind is a dangerous thing. It’s the fire that keeps you alive, but if you give any fire too much
control, it’ll lash out and burn you. I can see the fire growing behind your eyes.
