      As he told his story, Demetri walked about, lighting candles for mood. He couldn't believe Jack wasn't complaining but seemed to be entranced by the story. He had never imagined things would go so well this evening. The only hitch was when he tried to serve drinks from a small cooler the concierge delievered from the trunk of his car.
      "Was that ethically obtained?" Jack parroted a familiar phrase.
      "...Do you actually care? It's already been acquired, what does it matter now?" he answered, sounding more irritated than he intended. Jack made a face and Demetri had to do quick damage control. "Of course it was... it was a gift from Helen."
He actually seemed to buy it.
      With this luck, perhaps tonight will be even better than this...!

TRANSCRIPT: This is the text of the comic, for purposes such as translation and internet searches.

JACK: How could you serve that monster after he did that?!

DEMETRI: I didn’t have much choice, did I?

DEMETRI: You gain freedom over time, it’s not so bad.

DEMETRI: Or is it? What weighs on your mind, beauty?

JACK: I... I don’t know.

DEMETRI: I thought that clipping would cheer you, did it do the opposite?

JACK: No.. I... I just feel like my friends would... they would hate me.

JACK: After all I’ve done, I’m not that person now. I’m a... monster.

DEMETRI: “Monster? Absurd. You are the most lovely monster I’ve ever seen if that’s true.”

JACK: “I mean by what I’ve done. I killed people... I didn’t mean to, but I did it...”

DEMETRI: “People? More than one?”
