❝nobody trusts me. how is that? have i betrayed you all? have i angered you? have i taken from you what you hold dear? mother has abandoned me. i am left to rot in this dirty, ugly basement. please send me a sign, gods and devils. shall i die? shall i rot? do you trust me, god of death? mother says i am only a child. mother knows i am 23 years of age. when i sent her down the staircase for hurting me, she locked me in the cellar. mother shouldn't have hurt me. mother made a mistake. mother deserves to die.❞
