This thing with Connor. I know it was the right thing to do. I know it prevented more people from getting hurt, I just... don't know where to draw the line anymore. If I can kill a friend to save people-- if eating one human stops a monster from rampaging and killing several more... I've felt these things myself. I know it's true, but when does it stop?
[ That's what the fear comes down to for Matt. That's what's eating him from the inside, bringing him back to that night, killing his friend.
He'd just done it and he doesn't regret it and that scares him more than anything else. His voice wavers, breaths short. ]
I'm changing. More than the horns or the tail or the hooves, I'm worried about... when people stop feeling like people. When murder becomes okay. That's not who I am, but I can see it coming. I'll get so used to it, I'll just not--not care anymore.

[ What a good Catholic you are, Matt. ]
