There’s an old saying: the only way for two people to keep a secret is if one of them is dead.
Well, there’s a lot of dead sons of bitches that can’t seem to keep their fucking mouths shut. Things I’ve kept close to the vest for goddamn centuries are all brimming to the surface at last. If they showed up one at a time, that I could handle. But it seems like shit is all coming to light at the same time.
Which is… less than ideal.
First and foremost is the secret of just who Alita is in all this. I’ve guarded that tidbit jealously for nigh on two hundred fifty years, and only now does it blow up in my face.
However much Thomas wants to shit his pants over it, I wasn’t obscuring the truth just to spite him. I made a promise. Whatever people may think about demons, my word is my fucking bond.
Okay, so I’ve broken my word literally thousands of times. But that was to shitheads I didn’t intend to deal straight with anyway.
