I\u003cbr\u003ewent along because nobody told me I was allowed not to. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThen King Khi. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHe didn't ask permission to want me. He moved like I already\u003cbr\u003ebelonged to him, and the city adjusted around it. But he never\u003cbr\u003eonce used that to shut me up. He's the first man who made a room\u003cbr\u003ego quiet so I could finish talking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLoving him came with a bill. The streets don't collect from the\u003cbr\u003eman.
