“You think you've escaped me, but I am always here. Submit to me, and maybe I’ll let you keep the ashes of your son.”
“He will serve me well, opening the way to the End. You should be grateful. Your son will make the impossible possible. Everything his father could ever be proud of.”

Von Galloes stepped toward Theo, his sick smile widening. “Finally. Finally, I have you.”
He ran a finger down Theo's cheek, before lifting his chin, moving Theo's face from left to right, inspecting him. With a nod of approval, Von Galloes beckoned Stella with a finger.
