i'm well aware. that's the position humans hold in this city.
but he's just a kid. think of it like those apples you're selling.
you don't pick apples if they're still gerrn, do you?
you wait...
and wait...
and pick them when they ripen to a nice, lustrous red much tastier that way, right?
humans are the same. there's a certain age when our blood matures.
...the hell!?
this kid is still just a green apple.
