But did it turn him off from wanting to become one of them? Knowing that, despite Albert’s words, they weren’t entirely above killing people to protect their secret?

If he’d wanted to let his disease run its course, he’d have had maybe another two weeks to live. Personally, he felt they would be doing him a favor, but there were people who would have wanted to hang on to every last minute.
Did those few weeks of a single human’s life weigh more than the potential lives of what was likely hundreds…maybe thousands of vampires? Worldwide it could be tens of thousands.

He’s so beautifully matter of fact. I wonder how he deals going forward.

Right! No need to dilly-dally. 😁 Thank you!
Love the beginning of this especially. Great snippet.
Sometimes it seems there isn’t any decision to make, but those are generally the most important decisions of them all IMO.
