❛ You ever seen something like this before? Because it’s not human. ❜
❛ Don’t touch that sigil unless you want to wake it up. ❜
❛ The church called it a haunting. I call it a warning. ❜
❛ Whatever’s in those catacombs—it’s older than Christianity. Older than us. ❜
❛ I told them to burn it. Nobody ever listens until it’s too damn late. ❜

❛ That thing under the bridge isn’t a troll—it’s a guardian. Or it was. ❜
❛ There’s a name carved into these stones. It shouldn’t still be whispering. ❜
❛ I’ve been hunting this creature for decades. It’s not running—it’s waiting. ❜

❛ Maybe we’re all monsters. Some of us just hide it better. ❜
❛ Tell me—when you look at me, do you see a man or a mistake? ❜
❛ I’ve bled for people who’d burn me if they knew what I was. ❜
❛ Do you think monsters ever dream of being human? ❜
❛ I’m not afraid of the dark. I’m afraid of what it remembers. ❜
❛ You can’t save everyone. But that never stopped me from trying. ❜

❛ I’m not afraid of what you are—I’m afraid of what they’ll do to you. ❜
❛ You could’ve killed me. You didn’t. Why? ❜
❛ For something damned, you have a hell of a gentle touch. ❜
❛ You remind me what it’s like to feel human again. ❜
❛ Don’t say my name like it’s a prayer. I stopped believing in those a long time ago. ❜
❛ The runes say he’ll rise again when the blood moon touches the sea. ❜

❛ I saw the end of the world once. It looked… beautiful. ❜
❛ They think the apocalypse is coming. I think it’s already here. ❜
