“I’m not afraid of death. He and I have a close relationship. What I am afraid of is that someday you’ll stop looking at me. I’don’t care if you hate me. I don’t care if you’re mad. I don’t care if you hit me or hurt me. As long as you’re looking at me, then I know I’m real. I know I’m not just a ghost, a demon who haunts the night. When you look at me, I’m a man—and you’re the only one who’s ever really seen me.”
― Ava Thorne, Neon Flux

But I couldn’t—didn’t want to.”
