I think lying is maybe the worst thing you can do to another person. I'm living proof of that.
I'm sure your mom loved you and was proud of you.
She did forgive me in the end.
For what?
Stealing from her.
What did you steal?
A ruby. Unlike no other. Like nothing you've ever seen. She had me arrested, of course. And thrown in prison.
For stealing the ruby?
And arson. And murder. General mayhem. Among other things. You see, the problem with having this ruby was that everyone was always trying to take it from me. And so, I just did what I had to do.
You murdered people?
They weren't good people. Not like you and Susie.
