"A man can do what he wills, but he cannot will what he wills."
"You must have chaos within you to give birth to a dancing star."
"To truly create yourself, you must first be willing to burn yourself to ashes in the fire of your own despair. "

A man was screaming to himself inside a car.
He was slamming his head against the steering wheel.
It was Raul.
Back in his time, in his previous world…
"This damn child abuse case is making me remember my past! Why did I take this case? Why did I do it? Was it because of my past? Am I really this pathetic at controlling my emotions? For God's sake, why does living feel like such a torture?"
(For his past, see Chapter 28)
He was exhausted, and he knew he was going to die—someone was coming for him.
He sighed and pulled out a cigarette.
He liked talking to himself out loud; it helped him, allowed him to face himself.
At least, that's what he thought.
