"The funny thing about good peopleâ€”people like Danecaâ€”is that they really honestly donâ€™t get the impulse toward evil. They have an incredibly hard time reconciling with the idea that a person who makes them smile can still be capable of terrible things. Which is why, although sheâ€™s accusing me of being a murderer, she seems more annoyed than actually worried about getting murdered. Daneca seems to persist in a belief that if I would just listen and understand how bad my bad choices are, Iâ€™d stop making them."
