I should have time. Weeks, months. I'll handle it myself if I realize it's happening, but if I don't, a sniper's got the best chance of getting it done without being torn apart in the process.

Mental decline, impaired judgment. .. Feathers. It'd be a good idea to treat anything of mine as if it's highly contagious. Hair, blood, feather. So long as I'm clearheaded I can clean up after myself.
