"I've watched you ever since the day I was made. Watched you love, watched you laugh, watched you kill and die. You're perfect, even though you don't know it. Perfectly wonderful. Perfectly awful. Perfectly human. I've been watching, trying to figure you out. Trying to figure out how to be you. I know more about you than you do.
