Roth: Darling, what a night! The stuff of legends.

Jacob: Why did you do it? All of it?

Roth: What? Snap a baby crow’s neck between my thumb and forefinger? Slice to bits the ones you deem ‘innocent’? Keep the world in its divine manic state?

For the same reason I do anything-

Dear Mr. Frye,

Perhaps you have not heard of me for our mutual friend prefers to bury my existence under a pile of Blighter corpses. 

My name is Maxwell Roth, and I have acted as somewhat of a father to the ones in red. I write to you because the Blighters’ decline has caused a quite of stir in the underworld. Quite a stir indeed. 

But let us get right to the point–enclosed, please find an invitation to dine with me this evening at the Alhambra Music Hall. 

I would be honored to have such an esteemed guest.

Yours,

Maxwell Roth
