"It's nice that you kept in touch with your friends from college. Mine are all dead, insane, or too deep in the circle to appear in public. Only one of those had something to do with me. He was the guy I set on fire. The circle's conditioning kinda made me forget my life before the training. Of course, my past self being even more me than I am he was prepared. Of course the circle didn't take kindly to someone burning their way out of the compound half way through training. Did I say I got kicked out? I meant I went V for Vendetta on their asses and mustard gassed the fuckers while torching their buildings. Turns out the circle a lot more powerful than we give them credit for. The mall was the last place on earth I could hide from them."
