He is a coward. He is not otherwise for saying so, because he simply takes pride in being honest. He is a coward, and it is imperative you don't forget, lest this dream he calls reality deceives you into thinking anything otherwise. He's terrified, he is alone, and he can't breathe his own toxic breath. His eyes are obstructed by smoke; his tongue is coated in ash; his ears are full of fuzz. He is imperfect; he is rash. Keep all of this in mind, for you may believe him some kind of hero, and these traits do not a hero make. He is no one's idol, not even his own. He inhales fire and coughs out poison. Do not take in this excretion, for it will numb your insides and obliviate your beloved, ignorant mind. Do not listen to his pain, for it will hurt you too. Stay away from this hero. He is not who you believe.

Zero is not his name. It is merely a representation of personal worth. Make mockery of him, for he has taken far worse. Feel no pity. Feel nothing for this opaque soul, tinted with the grey of indecision and madness. Tune out your empathetic emotions. They will poison you as he will poison you. Stay away.

These are the rules for Zero. Make certain you follow.
