But it was also short-sighted and ultimately self-destructive. He wouldn't have survived it, so it's hard to imagine what other madness he might have been driven to past that.]
It's very strange, hearing people talk about him. [He looks away for a moment, frowning. He isn't sure he wants to know, but...well, this is the first person he's talked to who knew the guy personally.] Do you - happen to know if he was ever married?
