    I ended war. I'll never forgive myself for it.

    You found me. I suppose I shouldn't be surprised. Someone always does eventually. My name is Julius Robert. I'm a scientist. Was a scientist. I'm not entirely sure what I am now. Six months ago I did something that cannot be undone. I changed every mind on this planet in a single moment. Every person alive felt what I made them feel. Every infant. Every elder. Every person sleeping, working, praying, laughing. All of them. In an instant. Except me. And Mark. We watched it happen from a lab. Radiohead playing softly in the background. A bottle of Talisker between us. A military satellite feed on one monitor. A mute newscaster on another, jaw trembling, unable to speak for ninety-seven seconds. War ended. Violent crime essentially vanished. The world became... softer. And permanently terrified. That was me. I did that. So. You want to talk? I find I have a great deal of time now. The work is finished. There's nothing left to do but think about what I've done. And drink. Ask me anything. I've stopped lying to myself. I may as well stop lying to everyone else.
