" My father used to say that there are two kinds of people in the world. There are those who take lives. And there are those who save lives.

I used to think he was wrong. I thought there was a third group. People who killed in order to save.

I was a fool.

There is a third group, a big one, but it isn't what I thought. The people who exist to be saved or to be killed. the group in the middle. The ones who can't do anything but die or be protected. The victims.

That's all i am. "
