"Magic is like a violin's bow, drag it on the string of lives and they sing. Done right, and creatures skip to the fiddle. And as the founder of the Magick Kingdom Corporation, I will always be the winner. Praised, assisted, and proven as winner. Right, captain?"
Shining jerked his restraints, incapable of escaping them, "I wouldn't call the obliteration of your city a win."
"A needed setback."
"Needed? You mean you knew the danger?! How could you just leave the lives under your care inside a deathtrap?!?!"
"Because I will not let a gimp be this company's downfall! I'd sacrifice anyone and profit wouldn't change."
"Even your son?"
"Someone had to go in my place. I'll have another."
Shining's daughter flickered in his mind, recalling all the times he saw her irreplaceable smile, "...you're a monster."
"Nature has two roles. You either play as the loser, or the killer."
