Victor stared at the wall as if it were still a window. “He doesn’t know how patient you are,” he said. “Doesn’t know you like I do.” Eli cleaned the blood from his hand. “No,” he said softly. “No one ever has.”
“The absence of pain led to an absence of fear, and the absence of fear led to a disregard for consequence.”
“What if God played God?” Victor pushed off the wall. “What if EOs were part of His plan? What if these people, the ones you’ve spent your life slaughtering, were supposed to come back the way they did? What if you’ve been attempting to undo the very work of that higher power you worship?” “Don’t you ever wonder if it’s our fault?” Victor tipped his head. “Tell me, is it blasphemy, or simply arrogance, taking credit for God’s work?”

@kazz asked sydney clarke or victor vale
humans, monsters, heroes, villains - to victor it was all just a matter of semantics. someone could call themselves a hero and still walk around killing dozens. someone else could be labeled a villain for trying to stop them.
I want to believe that there’s more. That we could be more. Hell, we could be heroes.
”If Eli really was a h e r o, and Victor meant to s t o p him, did that make him a v i l l a i n ?”
@perlada asked adam parrish or victor vale ?
