Want is for children. If this were want, I would be rid of you by now. I would have forgotten you centuries ago. This is need. And need is painful but patient. Do you hear me, Adeline? I need you. As you need me. I love you, as you love me.
You have not been human since the night we met. You will never be human again. You move among them like a ghost, because you are not one of them. You cannot live like them. You cannot love like them. You cannot belong with them.
