"Really? You really think that?"


"Or do you simply continue to tell yourself that because you don't want to believe the truth?"





"I say it because it is true. I'm not a murderer. I'm not a monster. I'm not... I'm not the bad guy."

"All because of you."







"Nothing to say?"


"That's what I thought."


"Now if you'll excuse me, I have a human to kill."
