No one really knows how you work. What animates that forever-young cadaver of yours? Regular people, though, they think you're damned, that you've sold your soul to the Devil. But they're wrong, I think. Dorian did that. I did that. I guess it's possible, but then how does it spread the way it does?

[He got lost in a tangent there. He comes back to the point:] People think the Devil owns your soul but that you walk among the living, untethered from Him. Cheating Him. It doesn't make sense to me, really. Then, of course, you're stronger than us. That's probably the real problem: demons are an envious group.
