The two men stared at each other one final time

Both from wildly different walks of life

One born powerless

The other born with overwhelht

One raised with love

The other raised as a tool

And yet, there was one thing that tethered both men

Choice Or rather, the lack of it

And without choice, both s, hatred that lashed out at the world around theeance

In this final juncture, Aldrich and Seth shared a wordless

When they looked into the other's eyes and saw the very same type of hate they harbored reflected back at theeance that fueled them, they knew at that moment that they were twin sides of one coin

And because they knew this, because they knew themselves better than anyone else, they knew this was the end

The opposite sides of a coin could never ether They were part of the same plane and yet they were fundamentally opposed
