JACK

There isn't a right or a wrong choice. When you’ve done one wrong, all your rights are forgotten. It doesn’t matter then, how much you did for the other person when you make a mistake. You don’t get to choose what happens to you. You’re powerless. It doesn’t matter if you chose to do right which ended up in a backfire. Fate decides the consequences for you way before the options. Its cruelty is shown when you have nothing left.
