Summary
Ash had learned to conceal facets of himself that were not meant to be revealed.
There were aspects of his nature that Ewron—or anyone on the island, save for the Federation, of course—knew nothing about. Things Ash had spent a great deal of time hiding.
The unnatural coldness of his skin, for instance, which he usually kept covered by gloves or layers of clothing. The way sunlight sometimes caused him pain if he remained exposed to it for too long. The fact that he never ate, always finding some excuse to avoid sharing meals.
And then there was the blood. Ash had learned early on that being a vampire was less like possessing a magnificent supernatural gift and more like living with an instinct that never fully went away. The hunger could be controlled. It could be ignored for days—sometimes longer—if one possessed enough discipline. He had learned to control himself because he had no other choice.
Ewron had never made that easy.
