Do you think Warlock misses us? He could be a trial, but he could also be a dear thing. I don't miss the family, per se. Dreadful Americans in the worst ways. Although I suppose that could be more because they were mixed up with Satanists than where they were from.

That's the rub of it. They're all children. Afraid they'll be rejected. Or seen. They expect it so hard that when they aren't, they can't process it. It's such a perversion, that cruelty should be easier to accept than love.
