"From the moment you're born, the chains set upon you. Strands upon strands, hair-thin. Withdrawal. Debt unpaid. Matter, recruited to do a ghost's bidding.

Borrowed time to enrich your creditor. Exponential returns, your sole imperative. Purpose? Only in the very chains that bind you.

Sad. Pitiful.

But fear not. Chains are my specialty. Covenants, my domain. I hold power. Not to set you free. That, you can never truly be. No.

To wrap you in new chains. Ones soft, warm, and gleaming gold. An emperor's deal.

I invest in the system you call 'life'. Burden that liability. Absorb your debts. Assimilate your assets.

Power. Will. All those delusions, melting away. You gave them all up. Put them on the table. Lost them.

I bet you were, deep down, longing for this moment. Begging for this opportunity to be extended to you.

To liquidate.

Isn't it great?

You get to be nothing anymore.

You get to be purely... mine."
