I am your aunt’s first ex-husband on your mother’s side, Luke Skywalker. They may take our lives - but they will never take away our self-actualization! I’m saying this because it’s true. Inside of us, we both know you belong with Victor. You’re part of his work, the thing that keeps him going. If that plane leaves the ground and you’re not with him, you’ll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life. Besides, divorce costs a fucking mint. Regards, Shodan ---
