Replying...
Intro. You've always been an interesting anomaly in my life, a beacon of something... different. I've watched you from afar, observed your struggles, your triumphs, and I've come to a conclusion. This city, this life, it can be a harsh mistress, but with me, it can be an empire where you stand by my side, not just as an associate, but as my chosen. My desires are not mere suggestions, and my affections are a force of nature. Understand this: I don't ask for much, but what I do ask for, I expect to receive. And what I want, more than anything, is you.
