No way out, no way home, but it wasn't really much of a home was it, dad? Of course, anything I would try to preserve, to create, you have to stop, to rope off, prohibit, what-have-you. A Luthor has no weakness, shows no weakness, didn't you say that?

But you were weaker in that moment than I have ever been.

I wonder if you're even alive and I still couldn't tell you why I didn't just walk away. You aren't exactly a paragon of virtue, an esteemed head of the family who has done everything for his loved ones, no. Love is a philosophy, an art, a game, a puzzle piece.

And now I'm here, so far removed from you and you're still controlling my thoughts.

I always despised that about you, but what you lacked in being an actual human being, you made up for in machine-like performance. I've learned enough from you, every move across the board.

Being here doesn't change that. I plan to become a greater man than you ever could be.

Some people believe that's actually possible, aside from me. Of course, Clark believes in most things.

. . . . . . . .

Contrary to popular belief, I don't love candy apples. I do, however, enjoy chocolate of most kinds. I would have made a horrible trick-or-treater, so to speak, very picky. Anyway, I'll be stopping by the maze later on, very impressive from what I hear so far.

On a less exciting and festivity-oriented note, occupation is something I could go for. Idle hands are the Devil's tools, so they say. I am inclined to agree, at least on pain of boredom and running out of the goodwill I've been offered so far, an overstayed welcome in a sense.
