‘Why tell me?’ the kid asked. ‘Why warn us?’ I stared down at him for long seconds before I answered him in a quiet voice. ‘Because I don’t like what you’re doing. What you are. You aren’t using the power you’ve been given. It’s using you. You’re turning into animals. You’re using savagery and fear to try to uphold the peace. Now it’s your turn to see what it’s like to be afraid.’
