That's the funny thing about the Masquerade: three-quarters of the world already believes in ghosts, angels, demons, Ouija boards, crystal healing, and the Eucharist. Probably half of those things are real, too; you've seen some weird shit. The Camarilla doesn't care about what people believe—they fear people learning enough to act.

You have a feeling you might see him again.
