"Raistan, you've been exposed to the sun for who knows how long and you’ve spent more than a year lost somewhere in the woods, perhaps in water, wounded in the most terrible way for a vampire, without feeding in a proper way. It's normal that you would look the way you do now! It's a miracle that you didn’t die or turn into something worse. When we found you yesterday, I feared that you..."

“Can something be worse than this?"

“There are revenants. Vampires who for some reason lose their mind and their memory and wander in darkness unaware of what they are, governed only by instinct. Seeing you, realizing you couldn't speak, that you weren’t capable of recognizing me and that all you wanted was to get into the ground was the worst thing that ever happened to me, and I assure you I've been through a lot in seven hundred years..."

"Even now, I still don’t know who you are and, if what you say is true, I don't even recognize myself nor what I really am. Maybe I've already become one of those..."

"No, you haven't. You just need time and a lot of blood, believe me. Do you trust me?"

"I... I think so. Nevertheless, as far as I’m concerned, I've only known you a few hours. Tell me Shibeen, tell me everything. I desperately want to remember everything."

She complied with my request, embracing my chest with one arm and making me rest against her. I suspected that it wasn't the first time we had taken that position. Her voice, so soft and warm, retraced our entire history, from my transformation by her own hand to my return after the expulsion by her. She told me about our departure for Paris and even about the catastrophic first encounter with Vincent. At this point, I should have been the one to fill the gaps in the story, but even if I had remembered, I couldn't. Soon after I heard Vincent's name, I fell asleep in her arms, aware for the first time that I wouldn’t be in any danger.
