   Summary

   You had told Alfred, desperately, that you needed to be his brother, or else you would die with the weight of your need.

   &

   Alecto tells you the truth: you are God's second Resurrection. He wants to cup you in his hands; he wants to eat you.

   &

   You will not yield to the jagged bones of this Earth and its circumstance. You will not become the puppet of Cristabel, nor of God. You will take a dagger, and you will become a monster to rival Cassiopeia before her coffee, a monster to end yourself, a rabid revenant to fulfill the hunger of your want, your need, your love.
