Friends.

[The monster's voice drips venom, and it laughs a dry, reedy laugh.]

Children, this girl does not think of me as a friend. We are opposed in every way, to say nothing of her sickening desire for peace and safety.

No, she has incurred a debt to me, calling me without any knowledge. I do not wish to serve, nor will I. I mean to kill her, and break the bond she created so that I cannot be called again.
