“You guys know about vampires? 鈥� You know, vampires have no reflections in a mirror? There鈥檚 this idea that monsters don鈥檛 have reflections in a mirror. And what I鈥檝e always thought isn鈥檛 that monsters don鈥檛 have reflections in a mirror. It鈥檚 that if you want to make a human being into a monster, deny them, at the cultural level, any reflection of themselves. And growing up, I felt like a monster in some ways. I didn鈥檛 see myself reflected at all. I was like, 鈥淵o, is something wrong with me? That the whole society seems to think that people like me don鈥檛 exist?" And part of what inspired me, was this deep desire that before I died, I would make a couple of mirrors. That I would make some mirrors so that kids like me might see themselves reflected back and might not feel so monstrous for it.”

They sift the weak from the strong and provide a forge for the steeling of souls. Even as we curse monsters, we admire them. Seek to become them, in some ways." Her eyes became distant. "There are far, far worse things to be than a monster.”
