25->I understood then [[MadeASlave what she had surrendered]] to keep the Look.
26->The terrible truth is, I would still have changed places with her for a taste of that life, just for a chance to be someone, to look down upon dreary mortals from the height of godhood. I would have done anything – I would still do anything – to get a second chance. To have [[MadArtist Kit Marlowe]] look at me and smile knowingly. To let [[MadDoctor his people]] [[BodyHorror experiment with my body]] until they were happy, no matter how much it hurt, and I would smile back at them [[MedicalHorror through the stitches and the blood and the endless tearing pain]]. I would surrender everything.
27->Because nothing can ever take away the power of the Look. To be adored is to become divine. All your life is worth its finest moment. And when at last you fall from grace, you still have eternity to remind you of that time.
28-->--''The Look,'' by Christopher Fowler
