Natasha's honesty is surprising. Alex was expecting to have the subject changed, or even to be told off for asking, but instead, she finds herself feeling more than a little sympathy for the vampire, which is still new and uncomfortable but something she's starting to get used to.

"No one asked me either," she says softly. She doesn't particularly feel like telling Natasha the lie she made up about how she became a werewolf, let alone the truth, but she can certainly sympathize with how much it sucks to have your options taken away like that.

"Do you regret it? If you could change it, would you do it? Would you go back to being human? Do you even remember what it was like?" Alex knows that she can't ever change what happened to her, but she's hoping Natasha will give her some assurance that eventually she'll stop missing being human.
