You're right. This is a lot. I faced him. I thought that you were normal. And you're not. You're telling me that I have the DOD gunning for me. That if I ever decide to leave this place, I'm going to be a Snack Pack for an Arum. And better yet, I am going to lose complete control over whatever powers I have and wipe out a family of four, then be put down! All I wanted to do today was eat some god damn fries and be normal!

The character expresses frustration and disbelief at the overwhelming situation they find themselves in. Initially, they believed the person they confronted was just like everyone else, but now they realize that is not the case. The sense of normalcy they desired is shattered as they learn about dangerous forces, including the Department of Defense targeting them. This revelation heightens their anxiety and fear.

They articulate the stakes involved, fearing not only for their own safety but also the potential harm they could inflict on others if they lose control of their powers. They long for a simple day, just wanting to enjoy a meal without the weight of these terrifying revelations. This moment encapsulates their struggle for normalcy amid chaos and danger.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
