“It was just a single thought …if it’s you, there has to be a method to the madness.”
“You deciphered the method, but not the madness …. strategic thinking is not intuitive or perceptive.”
“I guess it’s too late.”
“No… your madness was always evident,” his voice is dark and deep, “see what awaits you on that chair so coveted by you. I planned revenge too.”
