S2EP9 Future Stolen, Courtesy of Corruption
What happened to honour amongst thieves? We don't even have that anymore; we're so morally bankrupt. Corruption is the monster under our beds, except it also stole the bed, the room, and the title deed. I'm laughing through the despair because if you don't laugh, you'll cry.
