They're a gift. It's rude to keep throwing them up.

The man who has seen it all has not. He has seen lies, and horror, and betrayal. He has seen what people are, and the monsters that linger beneath their masks.

And you cannot help him. Every truth you could possibly tell him he has already heard as a lie.
