“He knew I was gay for ages," he said, his voice soft. "We both did. Since we were, like, ten or eleven, maybe. As soon as we understood what gay was, we knew that's what I was. We... We used to kiss sometimes, when we were kids. When we were alone. Just little childish kisses, little pecks on the lips because we thought it was fun. We were always... really affectionate with each other. We'd cuddle and... we were kind to each other, rather than nasty like most children. I think we were so caught up in each other that we just... missed all the heteronormative propaganda that's thrust at you when you're that age. We didn't really realize it was weird until - yeah, until we were ten or eleven. But that didn't really stop us. I guess... I guess I always felt like it was more romantic than Aled did. Aled always just treated it like it was something that friends did rather than boyfriends. Aled... he's always been weird. He doesn't care what people think. He doesn't even, like, register the social norms... he's just caught up in his own little world.”

“أما الآن فقد غلبت طلاسم العلوم الحديثة طلاسم الجن.. وفي الحقيقة أن الآدمي أقوى من الجن آلاف المرات وأعلم منه، فها هو ذا جاب السماء، ونزل على القمر، بعد أن نقب الأرض، وزرع سهولها وكشف جبالها وبحارها، وتمكن من نقل الرسائل والصور من أقصى الأرض شرقًا إلى أقصاها غربًا، ومن شمالها إلى جنوبها في ثوانٍ معدودات، واخترع من آلات الفتك والدمار والخراب ما لا يستطيع الجن أن يقووا إليه.. وهذه الآلات الجهنمية، والقنابل الذرية، والصواريخ، والطوربيد، وما إليه من الفتك بالبشر كلها من وحي الشيطان لدى عباقرة العلوم.. وأن هؤلاء العباقرة ما هم إلا شياطين دمًا ولحمًا.”
