She has killed one child like that already; with a black hole where its heart should be and a love for other beings' blood. Granted, it wasn't on purpose. She was trying to escape and Harran was screaming she just needed to stop the screaming she didn't mean for him to die -- but sometimes, she thinks it was for the best.

Doesn't mean she hasn't been living with the guilt for years.

Plourr doesn't think she could do it again. And she couldn't raise a kid like that, either. She doesn't know how her parents did. She sure as hell doesn't know how her mother loved him like she did, right up til the end.

"It can't."

And she is so afraid it will.
