The world is an inferno. It will burn until every nation has fallen, until all who oppose us are dead, until people see the true light.
Alexander Gordon Smith
You don't have friends in here, you'll soon come to understand that. You get attached to someone, then you'll just lose them. They'll get shanked or they'll jump or they'll be taken one night.
