There is only power. I get that now.

If you're weak, you have no say. If you have power your voice and actions carry weight.

I have power now. So that means I matter. Those with more power than me matter more than I do.

And I'll use my power to kill those with less power than me, who in turn would have tried to kill those with less power than them.

One day I'll die to something with more power, probably.

I get that, now.
