Bray’s screen saver appears and he is on the TitanTron.
Bray says that you don’t get it. You just don’t understand. The only reason that you are still breathing right now is because he is enjoying this little game of theirs so much. If you could only see what he is. If you can see the creature that lives behind his eyes, then you would know that he is hope. He is disdain. He is the slave to his calling. He says that he cannot stop.
