“He’s an 8/10.”

He's a ten, but I'm captive on his ship.

He's a ten, but he's one of the seven princes of hell.

He's a ten, but his mother ruined my life.

He's a ten, but he's a vigilante who can draw.

He's a ten, but he threw me into a lake.

He's a ten, but he's the government's most wanted criminal.

He's a ten, but I want to carve out his heart as a trophy.

He's a ten, but he's "not human, nor ghost."
