“I used to be quite wicked and evil,” Joscelin explains, blowing gently on the cocoa to cool it. “Actually evil, I mean: killing for the fun of it. I wonder what changed? I know I did these things—I have those memories—but they repulse me now. I don’t understand it myself. It’s like a different Joscelin did those things and I’ve been left holding the bag.”

He has been thinking about this a lot, lately: the other Joscelin. The vampire with centuries of memories that play before Joss’s eyes like a badly tuned television—fuzzy and muted and then occasionally brilliantly clear.

“But if the vigilante is not inclined to see things in shades of gray, then I suppose that I still am the monster I once was.”
