Story Context
"" '''As the official story has not yet been released, anything in this section is speculation, not fact. More so than usual, of course.'''

The speaker of these lines may be Jesse Kilgannon as he has done a lot of shitty things to get to where he is (residing in Mayo Deftinwolf's body), but always justifying it as being for a greater cause.

It is most likely NOT Claudio Kilgannon as the worst thing he's ever done is kill in self-defense. This certainly doesn't stack up to some of the things Jesse has done.

Trivia

 * As usual, the first track of every album is a mood-setter and is usually lyric-less with a Piano Interlude feature. This track subverts this, probably because it is meant to be a Part 2 (Volume 2) to the original Good Apollo album.
