Criminal. She sometimes thinks they're right.

Errol Partridge. I remember him vividly, as if I had seen him just yesterday. After the murder of my sister (by a sense-offender in rage) and my parents (by a Cleric for being sense-offenders), I learned of him and he took me under his wing. Ironically enough, Partridge was a Cleric and also an offender.

I had been Partridges close companion in The Nethers for years after my withdrawal from Prozium; we had bonded through our new found emotions and had become intimate. He had awoken a part of me that I had never felt before, he taught me how to feel, how to care, how to express myself.

He had an intense love for poetry and insisted that he recite them to me every night we were together (which was rare, all things considered). His compassion was unmatched by any others, I dare to say I was learning to love him – an emotion that I had never felt before I met him. I did not even love my parents, nor my sister, I was on Prozium at that point though.

At the time of his murder, I found myself enamored with him. Everything about him interested me: his deep knowledge of culture and banned emotional content (books, music, paintings..etc), his willingness to love and care for me, his strength and bravery. There was nothing about him that I disliked, his voice was music to my ears and his touch set me ablaze inside.

When he died, a piece of me died with him, and for the first time in my life...I felt misery and despair.

Ten people who have helped to make you the person you are today.

01. My Mother: Julie Avery. She is...my Mother. All I remember is that she shaped me to be who I am now.
02. My Father: John Avery. He is my Father. He worked a lot, but very diligent.
03. Grammaton Cleric John Preston: He killed my parents. Made me a part of the Underground.
04. The Undgerground: Has changed me for the better. I can feel some emotions now, and can understand them.
05. The TetraGrammaton Father: He has embedded the idea of having goals into my skull. I ... cannot stand him now, the sight of him or his voice but at least he has given me the will to bring down the Council.
06. My Sister: She was murdered by a sense-offender, but I remember her speeches about Unity. They've impacted me.
07. My Ex-Grammaton Gun Kata instructor: He has taught me how to fight, how to protect myself and how to feel and channel my anger.
08. Errol Partridge: I met him when he ventured out of Libria into the Nethers. He was one of us, the Underground. He was an amazing man...I venture to say that I was learning to love him.
09. My Underground Bunk Mate: She holds me. She has been a sense-offender for many years. She understands.
10. Myself: Can I put that? Well, I have shaped myself, I have stopped myself from taking any more Prozium. I have made a step towards the right direction. Towards the light of hope.
