The Demon's Surrender

“I’ll kill Seb and take it from his body,” Nick suggested.
“Your plan is always killing, Nicholas,” Alan said. “It worries me. I want you to have many goals.”

“Love always costs more than you can afford to pay,” he said. “And it’s always worth the price.”

СПОЙЛЕР!

"I want to burn the world because Alan is gone," Nick said. "I want to destroy everything I see. But you mean something to me. I will not destroy the world, because it has you in it."

"We're friends, too, aren't we?" Sin laughed a little.
Nick blinked. "No."
Sin stared at him. "What?"
"I've already got one," Nick told her.

“Is this no-shirts festival day?”
“Every day with Nick is no-shirts festival day.”

"Am I making sense?"
Nick stared at him. "Hardly ever in your entire life."

There are some roles you can`t play without changing who you are.

As Sin watched, Nick drew level with Mae and said something to her, too low for Sin to hear, and Mae whirled around and punched him in the face.
"What was that?" Nick asked.
Sheer horror at what she had done crossed Mae`s face for a split second, only to be submerged in the rising flood of rage.
"I`m serious," Nick said while she shook. "What was that? Don`t punch people with your thumb inside your fist like that. You could break your thumb that way."

"I mean, we`re friends too, aren`t we?" She laughed a little.
Nick blinked. "No."
Sin stared at him. "What?"
"I`ve already got one," Nick told her.
"You`ve already got one- friend?" Sin asked slowly.
Nick nodded. "He`s a lot of trouble. I don`t think I can deal with any more."
