Irato

Hate boils inside you. I can see it in your eyes. The hurt and betrayal. But I did not seek to betray you. I wanted to make you stronger.

Rise above the pain and see with vision all the clearer. You will come to understand in time.

Share my vision, Evey. Share my vendetta.

I have purpose. I seek to make you strong and fearless. But they just want to make you afraid.

"Those responsible will be held accountable."

She looks at me, and her hate- and hurt-filled eyes say this: Even you, V? For what you did to me?
