Pain--the sweet touch of a knife as it breaks our fragile shell and sends down glorious cascades of scarlet, there is nothing like it! And then other's screams as they thrash and moan, their life force ebbing from their broken frames. Pain-- it drives the world, pressing on between Desire and Loss, bringing kings to their knees and paupers to the throne. But, don't ever try it, little one, don't ever hurt yourself like that. Never commit yourself to such darkness, stay in the light--
