“It feels good to be set up as a trap. But it does not feel good when no one falls in the trap.”
“Let’s change our names. Maybe we have already gained notoriety.”
“They must have flashed our faces on news channels too.”
“Change the caps, colour on your hair and pull your cheeks in.”

“You are anti-national, so you are destined to suffer.”
