The difference is that my race is damned to hell, Fai. That's an inevitability the truly living aren't born or forced into by their very existence.
[There's a faint sort of resignation in the way Devin says it. This is the reason he doesn't give any vampire a chance to prove themselves morally upright: they still belong to demons. Even he's not exempt from his own mission.
And he wants to not care, but something has kept him from hardening beyond that point. Now that he's here, leaving would be more callous than the situation calls for. Perhaps that's reason enough alone to do exactly that, and yet his feet remain planted.]
And since apparently little matters here, since we supposedly return to the moment we left with no memory and no impression of this place, you've decided not to fight for your life? Or am I missing something?
[It's quiet, not accusatory. On the one hand, Devin understands that Fai simply wants this over with, and on the other he's of the mind that no life should be wasted if it has any chance of being saved. Being tired is not enough of an excuse to give up, for him. Then again, he has no family to miss and that's by design. The math might be different if he did.]
