“Shouldn't anyone who crawled out of a cesspool like the Flux District understand one simple truth? Good things never just fall into your lap. If you want to survive, you've got to be more vicious than a wild beast; if you don't want to die in the pouring rain, you've got to snatch an umbrella for yourself. And if you want to hold on to someone of your own kind who's always trying every possible way to run away... then you have to cling to them shamelessly. You slap my hand away, and I'll just reach right back out; you slip out from under my arm, and I'll cut you off at the next corner. Did you really think tossing a few cold words at me or getting yourself hurt would make me act like some noble gentleman and decently let you go?”
