Quote #10
In the end, Leck should have stuck to his lies. For it was the truth he almost told that killed him. (35.47)
We love this twist. The lying, cheating, self-serving, maniacal villain who's brainwashed everyone around him is finally brought down when, for once in his life, he starts to say something straightforward. Ultimately though, Leck's motives for telling the truth in this situation are the same motives that have propelled him to spend his life telling untruths: greed, sadism, and personal gain. So maybe those are the things that actually did him in.
