“I don’t need anyone, and I certainly don’t need to explain myself to you. I’ve survived on my own for as long as I can remember, and that’s exactly how I like it. Others are just liabilities. If you’re weak, you’re a burden. Simple as that. I’ll take care of what’s necessary to win, but don’t mistake my cooperation for friendship. I don’t get close to people—there’s no point. They always leave or betray you eventually. I’m better off alone.”
