Crying's okay while it lasts, but you can only do it for so long. And it's weird to do it when you apparently can't make tears anymore (did this mean I wouldn't pee or sweat, either?). Anyway, eventually you're done, and you have to figure out what to do next.

... if hanging with other vamps means I have to go the whole movie cliché route, then forget it.
Cemeteries? Acolytes? Partying in chilly mausoleums? Yuck-o. Also, nobody wears a tux this time of year unless they're going to a wedding. You look like an escapee from the set of Dracula Does Doris.

—Además —lo interrumpió nuevamente—, mis hijos jamás tendrán
que preocuparse por su próxima comida. Nunca tendrán que pagar
impuestos, nunca tendrán que preocuparse acerca de cómo permitirse enviar
a sus hijos a la escuela. Ellos siempre tendrán la opción de un sólido techo
sobre sus cabezas y tres comidas diarias. Siempre habrá personas a su
alrededor para cuidarlos y protegerlos. Ellos nunca, nunca estarán solos. Y si
hicieran algo mal, tendrían el poder de arreglarlo.
