Chapter XXXVII: What choice will I make?  

Everything changes. As a philosopher would say, time changes and we change with it. The month of May has passed and thus, the first month in this world has come to an end. I remember how a month ago I was in the middle of my parish, preparing for my journey to South Korea, the wonderful places I have seen, and, last but not least, the presence of Benjamin and his warmth.

Arriving here, I thought I had met my soulmate, but I discovered that it was actually Cardinal Borgia, I killed a woman unjustly, and became a vampire. So many things have happened in just one month, even though I would have thought it had been a whole year.

As I sat and meditated on the things that have happened to me in this period, I received a visit. It was Julius, my colleague and my first protector in this world. As soon as I saw him, I got up from my chair and hugged him, then shook his hand.

"Julius, I'm so glad you came to visit. To whom do I owe this meeting?"
