Morpheus Quote by A. G. Howard

“There's a chilling grimness behind his gaze, and I let myself acknowledge what I've been denying: In his own way, Morpheus is my knight, too. He just has more muddled motivations than Jeb - not always unselfish and honorable, but vigilant. I have to give him that. -Unhinged, pg 252” quote by A. G. Howard
