As Venom moved on, John resumed his distance following. The creature didn't seem to mind, and they could speak as they moved.
"I came from nothing. If I'm to achieve that greatness you saw, I have to leave it behind. But that doesn't mean I deny it. I just don't care about it anymore, I've been shown better things to strive for. After all, you wouldn't have found me interesting before. That's saved me tonight. Given me a shot at that greatness you mentioned. And if you were so satisfied, you wouldn't be moving in the shadows, with me. You have greater things to live up to too, when you figure out how to reach them."
