You know why anything will always fail to actually impress us here in Paris?
Because we'll always have it all first. Others always try hard to make it bigger, while it's already almost done here.

That's it. For example, did you read the Ecclesiastes in the Bible? We're pretty much in that mindset. Like, why all this bloody mess when we've got it all already? And we'll always have it all first.

That is your deep, secret Paris. The one you want.
