Don't put him on the same level as me. He's a disgusting little wretch. The twins made it easy for him -- they're the ones who started projecting, first.
But of course. The traumatised, and the young -- they're the easiest targets for imprinting. After all, they're the two states when one's most vulnerable and starved for love.
Isn't that the kind of thing humans do? Not the eating part -- [well actually there are cannibals out there] but wanting to stay close to a loved one, even when they're gone.
To live in this world is to desire to be loved. To be loved in this world is to have a reason to exist -- a world you don't love isn't a world worth keeping. A world that doesn't love you isn't a world worth living in.
Anything with a functioning conscious is beholden to this curse.
Liking and loving are entirely different concepts, don't you think?
I like to sleep. I like to write, to read, to drink coffee, to bully my editor and watch him squirm about like the awkward man he is, to watch things go my way by luck or by force.

It's not necessarily something he's never seen before, and yet.]
He must be as good as you then -- knowing what a person wants most, and saying what they wanna hear. Or is that easier to do with kids?
[he knows it's easier, that's what galls him...]

They're not any of mine, and I wasn't really interested in them, so I didn't really keep track. They failed as candidates.
Last I checked, though, one of them died, and the surviving twin ate her -- a desperate bid to stay together, you know.
Could you believe they were both once human? Could've fooled me.

...What about you, Eto? What did you love about your world?

Nothing at all.

That's too bad. I was hoping to find out the kind of stuff you like.

None of those things require a lick of love.

[CHEEKY? though it peters off a little]
...I've got a bunch of stuff I like too, but I don't think I have anything I love... Hmm...
