That was a millennium ago and I've immatured since then.
I'm gonna try! This one doesn't seem to be striking at the glass with an obsessed rage and leaving behind rivulets of poison all the time, but it is clearly... disturbed.
THEY ARE DRAWN TO ME. Actually I caught it trying to sneak into the friend's house I had been charged with defending for the past couple of weeks, just before leaving. There was some question as to what to do with it, but I am full of solutions.

I don't know… I've already invested a considerable sum in lighting, housing, and safety equipment. I'll
