Tear Jerker / The Midnight Palace

• Jawahal's last speech.
  "I no longer know whether I wrote that story or some other man did, Ben. I no longer know whether those memories are mine or I dreamed them. I don't know whether I committed those crimes, or whether they were the work of other hands. Whatever the answer to these questions may be, I know I'll never be able to write another story like the one you remember, or understand its meaning. I have no future, Ben. I have no life either. What you see is only the shadow of a dead soul. I am nothing. The man I was, your father, died a long time ago, taking with him everything I might have dreamed of. And if you're not going to give me your soul, then at least give me peace. Because only you can give me back my freedom. You came to kill someone who is already dead, Ben. Keep your word, or else join me in the shadows..."
