In Episode 8, we walked through the Garden of Evil and asked how villains are made.
In Episode 9, we turn the mirror closer.

We say they as if villains were aliens, as if oppressors fell from the sky. But the truth is harder: we are the they. We are the ones who crown idols, glorify wealth, worship power, and remain silent while injustice grows.

This episode is not about pointing outward. It is about confession.
Through eight poems woven together with transitions and a final solution-poem, Olga Foreign dismantles the human mental disease of them/they — the endless cycle of categories that divide us into heroes, villains, victims, and puppets.

The message is sharp and unflinching: there is no they. There is only we. And until we face that truth, the cycle of dehumanization will never end.

This is not just poetry. This is the mirror we can no longer look away from.
