Talia feels she doesn’t deserve Devin’s attention and that she’ll only end up disappointing them both. Her friend Mandy tries to convince her otherwise, yet she can’t shake the thought that it would be best for both of them if they never saw each other again.

For me, "being a monster in the human world" is one of the most interesting themes in urban fantasy. After all, depending on species, each supernatural being experiences this phenomenon differently: they hide different traits, struggle with different psychological backgrounds and coping strategies.

Jev breaks down completely, losing control over their body, which begins to shift and change uncontrollably. Devin is the only one who knows who Jev really is and what they’re struggling with. He’s incapable of returning Jev’s feelings, he still tries to stay by their side and support them.

Alone in her room, Talia goes over her encounter with Devin again. She can’t even imagine how anyone could like her, and the memory of Devin’s kindness is starting to make her feel uncomfortable. So she convinces herself that it’s best to end whatever might be starting between them...

Devin is used to draining others’ lives to stay alive. Working as an Eliminator makes the hunt before feeding easier—he handles his targets with cold routine. That’s why meeting Talia catches him off guard: not only her resemblance, but his own intense emotions and confusion upset him even more…

After her first meeting with Devin, Talia’s mother tries to warn her – in her own way. Her words wound Talia deeply. Even so, deep down she also senses that something is wrong with Devin, but she tries to deny it and hide her feelings.

Devin has already experienced being buried alive once before — and it still haunts him.

To gain Talia's trust, Devin gives her his own helmet. Meanwhile, he smiles innocently, expertly hiding the raging emotions and murderous intentions inside him. And Talia has no idea who (or what) Devin really is—or that when he says, “I don’t die easily,” he means it quite literally…

Talia has no idea about the emotional change that has taken place in Devin, and she seizes every opportunity to spend more time with him — even agreeing to let him take her home, despite being very afraid of motorcycles. Perhaps not without reason…

Devin is not human—he grew up in another world, completely without any familial relationships. So when he meets Talia and realizes that siblings can sometimes resemble each other in behavior, personality, and even in physical traits, it hits him like a shock.

When Devin meets Talia, the realization that the girl resembles him—both in her reactions and certain physical traits—terrifies and horrifies him.

In the past, I usually drew Jev as a man, even though they often take on a female form—particularly alongside Devin. As the Dragon of Transformation, no matter what shape they take, they can’t change the original colors (blue and white) of their dragon form.

Devin's past pains and the feeling of emptiness are a constant state he tries to fight against, but they keep coming back. Although Jev is by his side, their relationship is complicated, full of inhibitions, racial prejudices, and a complete lack of personal space…

Talia keeps brooding over what happened at home. In the solitude of her room, she feels even more ashamed of her own hopeless, intense emotions. However, no matter how hard she tries to push the new librarian out of her mind, he keeps slipping back into her thoughts over and over again.

As an energy vampire, Devin can see the auras of other humanoid beings, allowing him to determine their species as well as their mood and emotions. When he glimpses his own intense energy around Talia, even for a moment, he is thrown into confusion…

For Devin, "family" is just a word whose dictionary meaning he knows, but he can't associate any emotions or experiences with it. To him, Talia is still just a stranger, a girl he must kill. However, there is something strange about her…

Talia, due to the trauma she suffered at home, craves attention, care, and love. Because of this, she is deeply affected by Devin’s calm and kind demeanor, which makes her feel safe around him right away. She has no idea that he works at the library solely to get close to her and kill her…

Talia is a teenage girl from an abusive family, struggling with deep-seated feelings of inferiority. This is one of the reasons she falls in love so easily—with anyone who shows her even a little attention or kindness... which fills her with shame, just like the intensity of her own emotions.
