𒅆𒊒𒍪𒅆,

A single mind held the revolution on his shoulder.

He was both a brilliant leader and, as she had testified, a caring friend. I never witnessed this, because my first meeting with him was as a monster.

A leader fails when they are led by no one, for their minds will twist and warp without other voices. That was we, and that was him. And that was why we burned.

𒁾,

𒍪𒅆
