Dialog in opera scene
The part where the protagonist meets the VIP person:
- We live in a twilight world...
- ...and there are no friends at dusk.
- You’ve been made. This siege is a blind for them to vanish you.
- I established contact.
- Bring you in or kill you. I have two minutes; make up your mind.
At that time it sounded so cool (and mysterious). Too bad none of those details have any hidden meaning or consequences later.
