... Thank you, Lady Rosette, Lord Doumeki, Eal Hargreaves... everyone who was at "the zoo". It was my first time leaving the Opera House since my arrival in this City and I was frightened I had a suprisingly pleasant time. It had been so very long... since I'd... been around people. For something so... innocent. It reminded me of the menagerie in Lodoc.
Lady Rosette, you are a remarkable young woman. I'm sure you'll achieve everything you ever desire with that will of yours. Lord Doumeki, you are also a very nice young man. You'll make a nice marriage, I am sure.
Earl Hargreaves, I do hope the... "race" did not shock you too badly?
I... greatly enjoyed my time out. I shall have to try venturing out again. Never alone. He-Who-Kills, please accompany me out sometime?

This is... what I wanted, isn't it? When Sharlen tried to turn me into a vampire, and I could walk... before Lassen stabbed me and recut my tendons... I wanted a new life. I wanted to get rid of everything that tied me there, and start anew. Isn't this that chance? Shouldn't I be happy?
... Why not? Why can't... a cursed queen be happy? Why can't I let go of Rishas, the servant of the Vampire King, Lailis, the Queen of Lodoc, and Lailis, imprisoned lover of Lord Lassen?
Just... throw them away. I'm just... Lailis now. I should try and... forget them all.
