| “ | I may not be a hero, and I sure as hell don't deserve any awards... But at least I know what makes a person evil. Evil only cares about itself. It's a mark of a man who would bring another to ruin and dare not show remorse. I will never let people like that go free. And I'll give everything I have to bring them down! | „ |
