From the 2019 game, Disco Elysium

The Deserter: (he opens his eyes and stares right through you) “It was real. I’d seen it. I’d seen it in reality.”

Half-Light: Some kind of great terror. Worse than what you’ve seen.

You: “Seen what?”

The Deserter: “The mask of humanity fall from capital. It has to take it off to kill everyone — everything you love; all the hope and tenderness in the world. It has to take it off, just for one second. To do the deed.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death… the sweetest, most courageous people in the world…” (he’s silent for a second) You see the fear and power in its eyes. “Then you know.”

You: “What?”

The Deserter: “That the bourgeois are not human.”
