[And men are what they name not to themselves]

You make them bleed.
You make them scream.
Even in Arkham, you make them bleed and scream.
Even as a doctor, you make them bleed and scream.
Even as a patient, you make them bleed and scream.
Jonathan Crane.
Judah Stark.
Brothers.
The same person.
It doesn't matter.
You're all the same.

You pretend that he's your brother. Your other self. But you don't trust him. He hurts people, and of course you don't trust him. People hurt him, and you don't trust him. You treat him like he is your brother, yet you don't trust him.

You never consider that maybe he won't trust you. That maybe he doesn't trust you. It never occurs to you that he doesn't trust you, that he shouldn't trust you. You hurt people, and you never think that maybe this is why he won't trust you. You're exactly the same, and you don't believe that he won't trust you. You're nothing alike, and he shouldn't trust you.

And you don't trust yourself.

Does he?
