I'm still human.

Even after all this time, even after losing everything.

After losing myself.

I'm still human.

I know because I love you.

If I weren't human,

I wouldn't be able to.

I know that you don't love me, Claude.

I know that you can't.

You're a demon, and I

I'm nothing to you.

Nothing but a soul to consume.

I'm dirty, and I'm heartless, and I'm sick and I'm weak and I'm so terribly broken but

I'm still human.

So it's okay if you don't love me,

Just…

Don't leave me, Claude.

Please, please, please—

don't leave me.

You're the only thing keeping me from losing the last bit of humanity that I have.

please,

until I die,

until I join Luka and I don't have to live this way anymore,

don't leave me.

Never leave me.

Because even more important than my love for you,

is the comfort of knowing

that I'm still human

after all.
