"The day I died was the day I started to live. In my old life I longed for someone to see what was special in me. You did. And for that you will always be in my heart, but what I really needed was for me to see it. And now I do. You're a good man but you live in a world that has no place for someone like me. You see sometimes I'm good. Oh, I'm very good. But sometimes I'm bad and only as bad as I want to be. Freedom is power. To live a life untamed and unafraid is the gift that I've been given. And so, my journey begins."
