Chapter 401

• Of all the people I knew, Damian was one of those I rooted for the most. His mother had died when he was born, and since she belonged to another clan, Damian never had contact with his maternal relatives. Both Damian's grandfather and father had died in the same tragic way—in battle against dark monsters. He ended up living practically alone in a large mansion, and it was because of this loneliness that he relied so much on the Singers.
• Even with my uncle's betrayal and the blind eye turned by the other Singers and their gamma, Damian again needed to turn to my family; however, many details needed to be worked out before trust could be fully reestablished.
• Lohan decided that, for the time being, he would stay with me in this world. He knew how to be present in a way that didn't suffocate me, and that was one of the things I loved most about him. Since he had no plans for the afternoon, I asked him to walk with me through the city.
