[Gilgamesh smiles bitterly, unseen.]

You cannot blame the fire for its nature; it was born to destroy. All the records of this child, who soon became a man, speak of his wildness. This child, who soon became a man, who then became a tyrant... because he belonged everywhere and nowhere, he stood on his own, a great shadow cast behind him.

...he had one friend in all the world, and in the end, abandoned him as well.
