“They kept me for five months in a room with no air. They tortured me, and I protected your secrets. I protected you. But they made me suffer. And suffer. And suffer. Until I realized, it was you who betrayed me. You betrayed me. So, I had only one thing left. My cyanide capsule in my back left molar. You remember, right? So, I broke the tooth and bit into the capsule. It… burned all my insides, but I didn’t die. Life clung to me like a disease. And then I understood why I had survived. I needed to look in your eyes one last time.”
