"Maybe. But she also might already be down there." He sighed. "Sometimes when someone inexperienced tries to see into the future, they just end up seeing something that has already happened."

His forehead creased over. "You know, I'm really surprised you don't remember anything about her."

Quote #6
He shook his head. "Memory loss isn't a side effect from getting bitten. Something else had to happen to me. The only thing I can remember about that night is coming out of a club alone and thinking I heard a noise from behind me. When I turned around, everything went black. I'm not sure if I blacked out or what but when I did come to, I was sprawled out in an alley with a bite mark on my neck." (23.164)
