“And now here we are. Max will turn up any time now. I'm not sure if you had actually forgotten anything that I've spoken about but I hope listening to this has helped. I know about the things I’ve told you because they've happened the way I planned them. I know my brother. I’ve been watching him. Studying him. Learning everything I need to know to win this game. I know how he’s going to react. When he runs I know where he’ll go.

You’ll remember where we were when I started. This is the world I have influenced. The one I have created. A world of my design. I hope you understand why I’ve done what I’ve done.”
