Devin feels the shift as much as he hears it, the way prey sense they're being watched by a predator. He's not surprised by the reaction, and the vampire hunches his shoulders. There's resignation in him, something grim that settles at Fai's realization.

"Because we're creatures of destruction," Devin sighs. "Where I come from, we're practically built for it. My kind treat humans like property at best, and use our biological need as an excuse for brutality and depravity. We're bound to hell from the moment of our creation. Humans have enough problems without us being involved," he explains, staring a hole into the counter. "We have no place in the light; I'm simply returning my race to darkness, where we belong."
