I’d be lying if I said I’ve never thought about running away. Not for any reason in particular—sometimes I think I just… don’t belong here.
I’m shattered in a single moment. Is this what love is?
Fuck love.
If my nightmares weren't so heavy, I’d follow you into the sea of dreams.
Why is interacting with people so fucking exhausting?
“The Shadow that chose you keeps the vessel safe. Heals your flesh from mild wounds. You called me delusional, remember, sweetheart? Fuck around, find out,”
But if her Shadow could heal her that quickly, I know the power in her veins is comparable to my own. Velis has never taken a liking to anyone else’s Shadow before.

“I should be afraid… but I don’t know. This thing—I mean Shadow—is pulling toward you. I don’t think you’re as bad as you try to play at being.”

“You’re a kid until you’re a soldier. You happen to be the softest brat I’ve ever been forced to share company with.”
“There’s darkness in you and it will reach for mine whether you like it or not. You can’t fight it forever.”

Too bad he’s insane or I’d take advantage of his willingness to fuck.

“You’re so fucking tight, baby. I want you to take my dick like a good girl. I want you to fucking scream.”
Fuck me and my obsession with bad guys.

The remainders of our existence are the Shadows we hide in.
She tolerates him. She wants me.
