Some people are in such utter darkness that they will burn you just to see a light. Try not to take it personally.

Max Nowaz
Being magnanimous in victory usually worked, but to keep abreast of the situation he had to 
pump the girl for all she knew. Was there a pang of remorse for his actions in his mind? 
Possibly, but what choice did he have? If he wanted to survive, he had no room for weakness.
Max Nowaz, The Arbitrator
