Oliver: Hi. I'm not supposed to hug you until you're ready.

And here's what we do. We watch them, the men. We study them. We feed them. We please them. We can make them feel strong or weak. We know them that well. We know their worst nightmares, and with a bit of practice, that's what we'll become. Nightmares. One day, when we're ready, we're coming for you. Just wait.
June
