"It's funny, you know. Before I changed, I never noticed streetlamps. Back then, I guess compared to the sun, everything else is just a light. But now…well, it's the best you can do, a lot of times.

"They don't mention that before they turn you. They conveniently leave that part out: that you'll miss it so badly, you'll find yourself staring at a streetlamp with no idea how you got there.

"If you ever see someone looking up at one, just standing there, perhaps with tears streaming down their face…that's one of us. Can there be anything more pathetic? All of these powers and eternal life and in the end I'm just another moth, but without the release at the end."
