Asked by wiki @ in English viewed by 501 People


"They told me you would kill me. I came to find out if it was true."

I don't want to stain my hands with blood. Just with lather, and nothing else.

A little more lather here under the chin, on the Adam's apple

And it would be so easy to kill him. He deserves it. Or does he? No!
