Quote #10
"Maia," Simon said. "You're still human."
"No, I'm not."
"In the ways that count, you are. Just like me." (3.16.137)
We think Simon is reassuring himself as much as he is Maia in this situation. After becoming a vampire, Simon isn't sure who—or what—he is anymore, and he has to cling to his humanity whenever possible.
