“What do you know of love?”
He blinked slowly, his pupils devouring the color in his eyes. “I know it tastes delicious.”

“How many people have you killed?”
Jack replied, “You keep asking me this as though expecting the answer to change. It will never change. The numbers are countless and I will kill again."

Liar. I knew something he didn’t. The station wouldn’t take him in. It only took in those worthy of its protection. Jack was not the kind of creature the station saved. It would sooner devour him than grant him asylum. He was doing all this for nothing. And I’d use him every step of the way.

Really, I should have let you die all those years ago, let you toddle off,”—he finger-walked the air—“into the barrens and get yourself eaten. I could have eaten you myself. I hear human babes taste like chicken.”
