Julian Gallio (![]() ![]() |
He's not starving, but he could stand to eat. Moreover, there's a slump in his shoulders and a tiredness in his eyes that just isn't Julian.
"I'm different things to different people, Minnie. I have to play any of a million different roles a day to keep things in line. I knew that gaining power would be easier than keeping it, but the keeping is enough to drive one mad at times.
And as much as it drives me mad...there is no way I could give it up and still be me. Do you even remember that boy you met in the foyer on the Howard estate all those years ago?" Julian asks, his expression growing more far away, as though he were looking back into the past.
"I look in the mirror and I can't even see where he's gone. I can barely remember him, Minnie. I wasn't always this way, but after all the deaths, the women, the pursuit power...the only thing that matters now is the hunger for more of everything.
For more of /life/ itself." he says
"Someday, now or in a thousand years, my hunger won't be sated by anything I can easily reach. I wonder what I will do then?"
