Quotes by Victoria Dalpe (?)

“The resurrectionist must feel that way too. Everyone just a little uncomfortable around her, she was like a walking memento mori, if you see her, it's too late.”

“Not everyone wants to be pulled back and put into a dead, reanimated body. It's close, but not the same as being alive.”
