"I lost the line with normality a long time ago Dixon... I did horrible things to people in the name of "Finding my Wife" I tricked people into believing that their loved ones are still with them with holograms only to mine information from them... and once they told everything I wanted to know.. i watched them as the holograms disappeared in front of them leaving the same pain in their mind that troubles mine. I tortured them by shooting their arms and limbs... i shot down innocent people for a few bottles of whiskey just so there is something to ease the pain. I lost the way a long time ago in this. "

He drank half of his drink while leaning back a bit along with deep sighs
