"I hate this. I hate this. I hate this. I did nothing wrong! I only wanted to show my tormentors what hell truly felt like."

"And here's where it got you, Crimson Rose. Prison."

"What the hell. This is utterly disgusting. How dare they treat me like I'm dirt. How dare they don't even attempt to understand my feelings. How dare they! I will claw my way out if I have to. And then. I'll show them. I'll show them the misery of a man pushed too far. Those disgusting bastards of dripping hypocrisy, they will see just how cruel the world was to me. My way will be made. Damn them all, damn them all."

"Crimson Rose...

Would you please shut the hell up?"

"Hah?! Even you're a gross existence. You're not understand at all. You lack goddamn empathy. All of you! And it's so hard, so hard to live and die like this. Have not a single one of you feel my pain?! I've gone through this life a million times, and it's heart-breaking to hear that nobody hears my tears. Every. Single. Time. Nobody listens to me. Why?! Just why?"

"How about you be quiet, so I can explain?"

"What can you explain?! Have you died and lived for a million lifetimes. You're so young compared to me!"

"I don't know what kind of bullshit you're spewing, but here's just one thing you need to know. The world doesn't revolve around you. It never will. Why should it shine a spotlight on you, you whining, wretched bitch? It appears all you've done in life is complain and consume yourself with your intoxicated sense of justice. What about you take the time to just look around and see?! See what this world has to offer. Assuming you have lived longer than I have, it's kind of sad that you haven't even appreciated anything. What about love, what about beauty, what about all that this world's wonders. Does it not astound you? My only regret is that I was desperate enough to commit a crime. Now, I am deprived of these wonders for two decades, and it's probably because I was deprived that is the reason why I can appreciate such things."

"Yeah, yeah, go on about your positive bullshit too. I don't give a fuck anymore. I will escape this place to enact my vengeance."

"And how long will that take? Will you end up like me, realizing too little and too late? A man can't forever pursue hatred, for it will only ruin him. He will be twisted further until his body starts to creak, but his mind will refuse to listen. Do you want to end up disfigured by hate?"

"Disfigurement?! Hah. Now, look at this face, is this face disfigured to you? Does it look grotesque?"

"Indeed, it does. People are far prettier and more beautiful when they're smiling."

"Well, screw you into hell twice over! I don't need to hear your opinion."

"Jeez, stop snarling at me. Oh whatever, if you must, pursue your path, but I guarantee only misery awaits you. I just hope you realize this at the end. Because clearly, you can't even recognize the problem now."

"Fuck you."

"Fine then, if you are a lost cause, then I will appreciate you as well."

"The hell?! Why is your body changing? Wait, old man?! What the hell! Why have you appeared before me now? You went missing for all those years, and now you appear before me now?! Fuck you. Do you know how lonely I was with no one to talk to?! And even you have betrayed my trust. You don't understand me other."

"I was hoping you would listen to reason; unfortunately, such a path has been permanently blockaded. Therefore, I will watch over your folly. Ah jeez, even when I help people, they truly don't thank me. Such a thankless task I have. Well, there's the joy of watching the fool who thinks he can change the world. Oh yes, a wilting rose truly is its most beautiful form."

"Fucker! Goddamnit, where did you go?! Why didn't you lemme shove your proud tongue so far up your arse you would only see its ugly pink flesh for days?! Asshole! Come back so I can beat you so hard you'll be seein stars!"
