Yet I had lived through a nightmare these past months, and that was no dream at all.

He had done something to me, but what that was, I had never been able to discover. All I knew was that the feeling had been with me since the morning I woke up and found myself in Venice.”
“I’d go to hell and back and cut off the devil’s head myself to save you.”
