You

will

always

be

capable

of

being

a

monster.

It

is

what

you

have

chosen

over

and

over

again.

-

You

will

always

be

capable

of

doing

what

you

did.

We

will

always

be

different

because

I

would

never

be

capable

of

doing

this.

-

It

did

not

even

occur

to

you,

and,

if

it

did,

I

did

not

matter

enough

to

you.

-

You

decided

over

and

over

again

that

I

deserved

to

suffer

from

this.

And

so,

you

did

it.

Over

and

over

again.

You

got

your

fix.

Congratulations.

-

You

have

crossed

the

line

and,

now,

you

will

always

be

capable

of

being

a

monster.

-

It

is

what

you

have

chosen

over

and

over

again.

-

You

will

always

be

capable

of

this,

at

others'

detriment,

to

feed

your

flesh.

-

What

is

missing?

And

what

is

left?
