No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
Protect. Obey. Sacrifice.
These words are the mantra of my existence. Iβm not sure if itβs Titus Rogen inspiring my desire to go against what I am or my own DNA deviating. All I can think is how Titus will look when he meets his end. It trumps even my wish for freedom. In this moment, I want nothing more than to watch the life bleed from Titusβs body. And I want it at my own hands.
Titus. The Creator.
I stare at my palms. Strength aside, I wonder if Iβm capable of taking a life. A human life; one with a soul. And I wonder if that isnβt easier than taking the life of an Imitation. At least humans have souls that live on. What do I have after this? Where will I go? Back into a syringe? Will Titus recycle me? Or will I be lost forever down a lab drain?
We donβt deserve that.
We donβt deserve him.
Deserving and receiving are so very different here. And I am beginning to understand, to beat someone in this world, Iβll have to play in it.
