How can I feel hunger when I can't feel anything else? 'cept useless. Died a Champion, didn't I? Gave my unlife to save puppies and Christmas. And her. And what's my reward? I'm a soddin' ghost, or near enough as to make no never mind.

Now I can't taste or smell or touch. Can't fight. Can't fuck. Can't hold a tired girl through the night and give her my strength. I'm without form, and void.

So why do I feel this hunger? This ache in my gut? This need? She's free of me now. Why ain't I free of her?
