“As strange as it might sound, I am inspired by death's perfect patience; the kind that fulfills the required wait and wins in the end.”

Death is never in a hurry. It does not need to be, because it wins either way, and that is the part Innocent wants for himself: patience that comes from being sure, not from being polite. He does not spend it everywhere. Waiting on something that will never change is just lost time, and moving fast pays often enough to be worth keeping. The one thing worth waiting out, however long it takes, is keeping order in your life.
