Summary
Copia had all but clung to the glass once he was dressed, his hair swept back, face shaved clean save for the slender pencil moustache, and eyes painted in matte black. So noble, Pride whispered as it mustered its host from up close, so formidable, while the mirror fogged with the heat of Copia’s breath.
“We did it,” Copia had muttered back, gloved fingertips dragging through the condensation, revealing the mad stare of his white eye blinking back at him. There, where his sin had made its lair.
“You and I.”

Summary
Terzo had lost hours — no, entire days — to Lust and its demands, for years. He had chased its sweet promises, and not cared for the words of concern that had tried to rein him in. Like a fool, he had found himself too close to the sun, and like Icarus, burnt to the bone, he had plunged into ruin.

Summary
Whenever Perpetua thought about Copia, it felt as though he was thinking about himself — not as a person, not even as his twin, but as a part of a greater whole. A unit, existing in two bodies, two minds; so deeply intertwined that the mere thought of ever being separated provoked in Perpetua a flash of nausea so intense, it frightened him to let his mind even breach the idea.

Summary
As Copia observed himself in the full-length mirror, he welcomed the deadly sin like an old friend — Pride, a prickly thing made of thorns and diamonds, now shone brightly on his face, lifted his chin, and reflected off his cheekbones like a polished blade.
C. S. Lewis writes in Mere Christianity that pride is the "anti-God" state, the position in which the ego and the self are directly opposed to God: "Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness and all that, are mere fleabites in comparison. It was through Pride that Lucifer became wicked. Pride leads to every other vice. It is the complete anti-God state of mind."

Night terror (pavor nocturnus) symptoms according to Wikipedia: There is a sense that the individuals are trying to protect themselves and/or escape from a possible threat of bodily injury.

Summary
Here, among the dead and abandoned, the smell of autumn and stench of death, a tall figure in all black crossed the cemetery's grounds with the stride of a man weary and yet familiar with the kind of terrain he walked on. The wind caught in his black overcoat as he went, his bad posture upheld by the help of his cane, looking neither left nor right; a devil, one might think, all long limbs, with a top hat and the face of a crow with eyes made of red tinged glass.

Summary
I'm not made to remember. I just don't hold on to things like you do. With me, I always want to know what's next; the next song, the next drink, the next idea. If things were up to you, it would all stay the same. We would always live in this flat, you and I. There would always be a Feeling B, a life in these walls, a world consisting only from Berlin to Hiddensee, and you'd be perfectly content, wouldn't you?

Summary
It was the worst feeling in the world.
This moment of utter impotence, when it all left him. His wit, his control, the air in his lungs. When he felt the heat rise from his neck to pinch his cheeks, the shrill scream of panic in his ears and the tremble in his throat, desperately trying to push the words, any word, out of his uncooperative mouth, to no avail.
(Set in 1994)
