"It wasn't you," Samael whispered with narrowed eyes. "The humming… it was the same as that night in the banquet. So, it wasn't yours."

"I will deal with those mice after you."

"Alphonse, Quentin, Beatrice, and a lot more people, Stefan," Samael continued in an arrogant tone. "You're so fucking dumb not to see the situation you're in."
