Do not pretend to be unaware of our darkness, deceived by omnipotence.

Instead, we exist as beings that embrace destruction to overcome decadence.

The order, conscience, and ethics that humans desperately want to protect…

To them, such concepts hold no value or meaning. They do not even understand what it means to be cruel.

“You know, don’t you?”

If you are only pretending to know… Would you also scornfully push me away? <<less
