I’ve seen you fighting to be more than a monster. I’ve had moments of light with you that show me who you were before the curse took root in you. And even though you’re stubborn and rude and you make me want to scream sometimes, you’re also the first person to wake me up from my daydreams. I don’t want to escape into my head when you’re in the room. I am so starkly here, wide awake and living. When I’m with you, I can feel…everything.”
