And it was like... it was like I was suddenly everything that I'd been taught to hate. I was this freak, who couldn't control himself, and my own family thought they might have to kill me to save the world. And the only reason I'm not showing you now? Is because they're dormant. Maybe forever. Or maybe not, but if I want to find out, I have drink a lot of demon blood. So..."
