I know it because she's stronger than me.

That night, when you kissed me, I thought you did it because you were drinking. All I could focus on was getting you home before you did something you'd regret in the morning.

Maybe there's hope for me after all.

Experiencing what we did with Lucifer taught me so much. Things I will take with me forever, even when my human life is over. I've seen the dark side of life now.

His world.

I'm turning her into me.
