“You want truth? Fine. Most people die long before the dirt hits them. They smile, obey, sign papers, raise their kids, pay their taxes. But their eyes? Fucking empty. And then there’s you. Still hurting. Still burning. Which means one thing— You’re still alive. So here’s to the broken ones. The reckless saints. The bastards who still feel something. Because dead men don’t cry. But you— you refused to go quietly. And that’s what makes you dangerous. Cheers, love. Keep bleeding. Keep burning. You’ve still got a soul. And the gods? They’re watching.”
