"Never apologize for being hungry, especially if you suddenly develop the metabolism of a growing boy." Smiling, I went ahead and started nibbling on my own fries so he knew it was alright if he needed to get a head start on the meal before we got to my place. I wonder, Father, would I have had such a stage had I not subsisted largely on ADAM for my youth and adolescence? So many things about my own youth were abnormal, sometimes I barely feel human, especially looking at such an obvious example of what I should have had.

Although, had I been a normal child, would I have survived Rapture at all, or would I have eventually joined the ranks of the maddened Splicers?
