Sweet frost pleasently burns cheeks.
This fresh air... light, tender...
Sprawled silently, filling the chest with a cool wind.
The playful whistle gently tickles the ears. What a pity it doesn't last forever: for this much can be given away.

No desire to look down: there are only passions. Because of them, from them they ran away. Ran away to return to them again. Fools!

However, who can judge? They have no choice. Just wait mutely for tomorrow and hope it will be at a least no worse than today. No choice...

Choice? I have got it! Yes! I can relieve you, ye quivering creatures, heed me! Do you want to get rid of it together? Only you and me, in our saving solitude!

No turning back. Only deliverance. Close your eyes with me, relax, turn off all the feelings as I do. That's it. Comprehend only freedom, feel it, smell it, touch it by hand!!

Trust me! Don't you hear sincerity in my voice when I talk?! Complete freedom from everything that connected you with that suffocating reality!! Be strong, as you always considered yourself! Here is the path to the immense!

But what is that? What are you fussing about? Is there something wrong? It's amazing how quickly attitudes change.
Miserable beings. How promptly you replace priorities. How convulsively you clung to your long-disgusting dumb existence. It means there is something in it, something really worthwhile...

Or maybe you are just cowards.

You who pulled me out of the ground and led me through fire and water!

You who forced me to follow your thoughts to the point of losing mind!

You who thought that would command, enslaving my body and soul!!

Where are you now?!

Your fate is in my hands.
You think the worst thing has already happened, but no, it will only meet you!
You are asking for forgiveness, but maybe I don't want to forgive you!
You are begging for mercy, but maybe I'm just eager to kill you!
Relishing the moment.
And your ashes shall be scattered upon my mother's face...

However, who am I to salvage you? Sure, it's not my business. Even if it were mine, I would not get my hands dirty about you, scums.

Farewell.
You have your way.
Go in peace.
