“Een totalitaire staat brandmerkte zijn onderdanen ook dan met een schandteken als die zich verre hielden van het openbare leven, als zij in de bescherming van de anonimiteit hun integrante menselijkheid probeerden te bewaren. De essentie van de totalitaire staat is namelijk juist dat hij totaal is en dus voortdurend dwingt tot het innemen van een positie voor of tegen: hij onteigent het denken totaal, als een onverwachte ramp brengt hij ons uit ons normale doen, uit ons persoonlijke bestaan, en zet ons nachtmerrieachtige alternatieven voor waartussen we gedwongen worden te kiezen. Zo stapt de persoon zelf in de nachtmerrie, hij wordt zelf een spookfiguur die droomachtige handelingen uitvoert waarvoor hij onder normale omstandigheden nooit de verantwoording op zich zou willen nemen en waarvoor hij zich dus vaak ook niet verantwoordelijk voelt. In de dynamiek van het nazi-totalirisme werd het slachtoffer een goed functionerend onderdeel van de machinerie die voor zijn vernietiging tot stand was gebracht; dit is vermoedelijk de meest vernederende ervaring die de mens tot dusver in zijn geschiedenis heeft opgedaan...”

“Before Butch knew what was doing, V grabbed his forearm, bent down, and licked the cut, sealing it up quick. Butch yanked out of his roommate's hold. "Jesus, V! What if that blood's contaminated!" "It's fine. Just f-" With a boneless lurch, Vishous gasped and collapsed against the wall, eyes rolling back in his head, body twitching. "Oh, God...!" Butch reached out in horror- Only to have V cut the seizure off and calmly take a drink from his glass. "You're fine, cop. Tastes perfectly okay. Well fine for a human guy which really ain't my 'tail of choice, you feel me?" Butch hauled back and nailed his roommate in the arm with his fist. And as the brother cursed, Butch popped him another one. V glared and rubbed himself. "Christ, cop." "Suck it up, you deserve it.”

“So I want to share a little news." "You getting married?" Butch tossed back half the new Lag. "Where you registered? Crate and Bury 'Em?" "Try Heckler and Koch." The Reverend opened his jacket and flashed the butt of a forty. "Nice little poodle shooter you got there, vampire." "Put a hell of a-" V cut in. "You two are like playing tennis, and racquet sports bore me. What's the news?" Revh looked at Butch. "He has such phenomenal people skills, doesn't he." "Try living with him.”

“Sorry about the question thing," Butch said to the black robes. "But I just... I'm glad I know what's in my veins. And honestly, if I die today, I'm grateful I finally know what I am." He took Marissa's hand. "And who I love. If this is where my life took me after all those years of being lost, I'd say my time here wasn't wasted." There was a long silence. Then the Scribe Virgin said, "Do you regret that you leave behind your human family?" "Nope. This is my family. Here with me now and elsewhere in the compound. Why would I need anything else?" The cursing in the room told him he'd thrown another question out there. "Yeah.. ah, sorry-" A soft feminine laugh came from under the robes. "You are rather fearless,human." "Or you could call it stupid." As Wrath's mouth fell open, Butch rubbed his face. "You know, I'm trying here. I really am. You know, to be respectful." "Your hand, human." He offered his left, the one that was free. "Palm up," Wrath barked. He flipped his hand over. "Tell me, human," the Scribe Virgin said, "if I asked for the one you hold this female with, would you offer it to me?" "Yeah. I'd just reach over to her with the other guy." As that little laugh came again, he said, "You know, you sound like birds when you do that chuckle thing. It's nice." Over to the left, Vishous put his head in his hands. There was a long silence. Butch took a deep breath. "Guess I'm not allowed to say that.”
