Question: If you sell your life, but not your soul, and the saving of your loved ones leaves blood on your hands...will you still go to Hell? I'm not sure, but I know Hell came to us that winter of '32. It came in a trenchcoat, an army of them really, and disguised itself as the people who had raised me, then it started a war no one wanted but only I had to power to change.

Have you ever watched a man die? I hadn’t until that winter, in fact I saw two. You know the worst part…I killed the second, and he was my father. But tell me this; if everyone said your father was a murderer, your mother’s death was a mystery and your bodyguard was the only one who wouldn’t hit you, wouldn’t you want to know the truth of…well why it was like this? That’s what I thought too. Until I found out that while the truth may set you free, lies keep you safe a little longer.. ....Here is my penance for the deeds done that winter. I’ve come to set the man who lied to me, free.
