I'm not beautifully broken. I was ripped to shreds from inside out at a young age. But I survived. Now, they're all afraid of me because I'm everything they can't control. 
I thought I could go through life alone, until I was completely lost. Suddenly he showed up and I tried to deny it for a long time, but when he looked at me like there was something worth looking at, I knew I was falling.

Nikolai Kai Tarankov
I needed a hug, but all they gave me was a box of matches and a knife. They told me to apologise for the monster I became, but no one ever apologized for making me this way. And when I found a girl that had the same darkness in her, I knew I loved her. And all I want I wished was for her to look at me the way she looks at the bloodied bodies at her feet. 

"If I told you about the darkness inside of me, would you still look at me like I'm the sun?"
