                 BROTHER… i’ve met other people who weren’t exactly human… but they still managed to live their lives with a purpose. and even in this body… it hasn’t stopped other people from treating me like i’m still human… i can live a somewhat normal life… and that’s how I’ve managed to keep going… but now… i can’t take it anymore… i can’t… i can’t take all the nights by myself! it’s too lonely…

            water freezes, water boils. either way, you’re just as dead. that’s alchemy…

I’m sort of an up-and-coming stray god right now, but i will someday stand as this land’s god.

These days, there are angry ghosts all around us - dead from wars, sickness, starvation - and nobody cares. So you say you’re under a curse? So what? So’s the whole damn world.
