We have invested in skills that are swiftly becoming unfavourable. I learned to kill. To repurpose. To learn and to control. What we know how to do just makes us tools of war. You must become more than that now, James. The nightmares will never stop coming so long as you give them oxygen to burn.
We have played a zero-sum game. Depriving me of my life brings you nothing, and the reverse is true for me. What I deserve in the meantime is of little consequence. I'll take what you are willing to give me. That much must be clear to you now.
Maybe you just never had a reason to share such optimism. I hope, for both our sakes, that we will meet again under better circumstances.
