About This Quote

Usually, people only want to kill the ones they hate most. They want to hurt them and watch them suffer. However, this is not true with Skulduggery Pleasant. He only wants to kill those he loves, but he does it under a very special circumstance.

When he kills someone, he wants to do it without fear and without remorse. This is the only way that he feels comfortable and at peace.
