| Speak Freely |
| There is no need for formality. |
| I am a master of unconventional warfare. |
| Everything about what I have become disgusts me. But that does not mean I intend to stop fighting. |
| I would be more nihilistic if I wasn't so fatalistic. |
| Da. When my arm grows it is very painful. Thank you for reminding me. |
| On the plus side, I have gotten very good at arm wrestling lately. |
| Is it hot to anyone else? Ohh, I wish I could take off this jacket. |
| While Duran was experimenting on me, I used to tell myself it could always get worse. Then, it got worse. |
| A virus is neither alive, nor dead. It is... other. Existing only to plague and control the living. I know the feeling. |
| Who put this "I'm with Stukov" sign on my back? Was it you? Not funny! |
| Don't click there! It sends shivers down what used to be my spine. |
| Come to think of it. The last time I went to the gym I did skip leg day. Oh, and other arm day. |
| Kaneda? Who is that? And why do I want to crush him? |
| For my enemy, the day Stukov infested their team was the most horrifying experience of their lives. To me, it was a Tuesday. |
