| “ | I'm in Montpellier, in Vermont. 12 heroes and civilians are dead. A lot more are wounded. Now, Homelander and Vought are going to tell you that it was a super villain and that they have it handled. They don't. It was Soldier Boy. I know I sound insane. But Soldier Boy doesn't care about protecting Americans and he probably never has. Most heroes don't care about you. They only care about their image. And Homelander is the worst of them. He's hurt people. He's done something to Maeve. I don't know what they're going to do to me for telling the truth. But I'm going to keep doing it and I should have done it sooner and I'm sorry. And one more thing. I'm not Starlight any more. My name is Annie January and I fucking quit! | „ |
