SOULS AT ZERO

     ❝ And what cautionary tale is that, Mr. Williams? ❞ said Peter.      ❝ That once we start down a dark path, once we allow the corruption in, it spreads like poison and takes root. That ultimately, power corrupts. Look at politicians today. Look at the mess they’ve made. Tell me that isn’t an abject lesson for us all. ❞

     ❝ I am someone who wants very much to be popular. I don’t just want you to like me, I want to be one of the most joy-inducing human beings that you’ve ever encountered. I want to explode on your night sky like fireworks at midnight on New Year’s Eve in Hong Kong. ❞
