I hear London's on fire. Burning itself from the inside-out I'd say. It should have the good sense to let the fire cleanse itself. Burn it to rubble. Nothing good ever came from London – not without a price.

And the prices keep going up.

A home for rent will cost you your soul. A family will cost you your mind.

Take my word for it.

London's on fire. Hope it burns to the ground. Only city on earth that can turn a gift from god into a monster from hell. Where demons roam the streets. They eat their meals with you, and call you son.

And you serve them, dutifully.

Hell on earth is London; it's fit for it to burn. The streets bleed, but no one takes notice. No one ever rinses their sins. Angels are at the demon's will – stained red they are.

Until they too, burn.

I hear London's on fire, let it burn to the ground.

End Scene.
