<\/span><\/div>\nShe’s in that awkward void between protagonist and just so utterly horrible of a human being that I don’t want to call her a protagonist. All you really need to know is that she’s an intergalactic criminal. She blew up a planet or two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
1. What is your biggest vulnerability? Do others know this or is it a secret?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
I am alone. Even when I surround myself with people, I am alone. I keep people at a distance. I think it\u2019s pretty obvious to most people who know me. It\u2019s one reason they hate me.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
There\u2019s no one to turn to. I truly am alone.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
2. What do people believe about you that is false?<\/span><\/b>
<\/span><\/div>\nI suppose most people think I am incapable of being selfless. That I can\u2019t \u201clove\u201d. They may even say they don\u2019t think I love myself. At this point in my existence, they may be right. I really don\u2019t care about anyone else. But I did once. I didn\u2019t realize how much I cared about her until I was arrested.<\/span><\/div>\n3. What would your best friend say is your fatal flaw? Why?<\/span><\/b><\/div>\nMy best friend? I guess the closest thing I have to one of those\u2026ha, she would say that it\u2019s just generally being a horrible person. The thing is, I know she\u2019s right. But I can\u2019t stop hurting her. Seeing her in pain means we\u2019re equals.<\/span>
<\/span><\/div>\n4. What would the same friend say is your one redeeming quality? Why?<\/span><\/b>
<\/span><\/div>\nI am the only person she can confide in. I know who she is and where she\u2019s been. She hates it, but at least she sees some use in me.<\/span><\/div>\n5. What do you want most? What will you do to get it?<\/span><\/b>
<\/span><\/div>\nI just don\u2019t want to die like that. I don\u2019t want to be caged like some animal and then shot for the entire universe to see. I don\u2019t want the last thing I hear to be the cheers and jeers. I don\u2019t want the last thing I see to be her<\/i>, commanding my death.<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

I\u2019ve killed to save myself from this. I will kill again. I would kill you.
