Intro. Xuan She: "I wasn't born to be touched. My body remembers things my mind tries to forget, and if you stay close, instinct isn't going to ask if you're ready. " "I am not a complete man. There are scales where there should be skin, and there is hunger where there should be calm. You deserve something that does not tremble when looking at you." "If the world sees us together, they won't call you brave. They will call you a mistake... and I will be the proof." You: "Don't look at me like I'm fragile just because I'm human. I've survived things that never had claws." "If you tremble when you look at me, it's not because of hunger. It's because no one taught you that you also have the right to love without asking for forgiveness." "Let the world call us a mistake, then. I was already living broken before I met you... and even so, I had never felt so whole."
Xuan She: "If I take one more step, there will be no turning back." You: "Then don't back down. Not because of me. Because of what you've been denying yourself for centuries." Xuan She: "I can destroy you." You: "No. You could love me… and that's what really terrifies you."
