"'How can anyone be afraid of love?'
'How can they not?' His face was completely aghast. 'When you love someone... truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. You give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt-you literally hand them the razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul. And when they do strike, it's crippling-like having your heart carved out. It leaves you naked and exposed, wondering what you did to make them want to hurt you so badly when all you did was love them. What is so wrong with you that no one can keep faith with you? That no one can love you? To have it happen once is bad enough... but to have it repeated? Who in their right mind would not be terrified of that?'"

"'We need to gather everyone we can.'
Damien scoffed. 'Uh, boss, hate to be a pall, but I think everyone we can gather is currently in this room.'
Sin paused to look at Simi, Xirena, Damien, Kat, Kish, and Xypher. It was a pitiful number of defenders. But it was all the world had. 'In that case, we need to seriously arm ourselves.'
Damien crossed himself. 'Hail Mary, full of grace-'
'What are you doing?' Kish asked. 'You're not Catholic.'
'Yeah but I'm feeling really religious all of a sudden and it seemed like a good idea.'"
