[narrating] Life is a series of choices. As it turns out, death is the same. Not for the ones who are ready. They embrace their fate, move on. For the rest of us, we linger. After our survivors pray and throw dirt on our coffins, we're still waiting. Because for some of us, there's a bigger question. What am I now? Where do I go from here? We find ourselves in an eternal nowhere, between human and thing. Monsters. Some of these monsters choose to simply accept what they've become. Some don't. Which leaves us with the most important choice. Do you accept what you are or do you refuse? And which is the true curse?
[narrating] Every culture has its own way of saying goodbye. Comforts and the rituals that prepare the living for death. They ease the journey into what comes after... assuming there is an after. In the end, death is a journey you take alone. For some of us that journey takes us on a hidden path, through a darker forest, or, instead of answers, we find a whole new set of questions.
It's that shred of humanity that makes us eventually crawl out from under the stairs and show ourselves to you. 'Cause even a monster can be afraid of the darkness.
[narrating] Right before a big storm, I used to go with my dad to the harbor to look at the clouds, feel the air. There's an eeire stillness before the sky cracks open... a hush. You can feel the storm gathering, smell the flood on it's way. When you know you're gonna die a violent death, when that's the only way you can die, it's all about the waiting for that final storm - if the waiting doesn't kill you first.
[narrating] I was a good child, did my homework, ate my vegetables, kissed my mother goodnight. I was patient, I was kind, but I’m starting to think that good things don’t actually come to those who wait. We behaved as well as we could, for as long as we could, and now it’s time to try something else. We came screaming into this world. How can we possibly leave it without a fight?
[watching Aiden sitting on the front steps] I never really thought about it before... how hard he must work every single second of his life not to be one of them. I guess I just take it for granted he's as good as he is.
Since I am here, um, no more waiting. I'm going to do something with my time, you know. I mean, maybe I got closure with Danny, but I never got closure with my family... or friends.
Oh, so that is happening? Because it's just, it's been weeks since we heard anything, and I was just thinking maybe she was on a cruise in, like, Alaska. It's really nice this time of year.
When you live forever, a few weeks is nothing. Look, when Mother gets here, she will give the proper order and that's that, and not even the council can go against her word. It's all good.
If there could be a lot less "Mother will determine the proper blah, blah, blah" and, and, and floating broken coffee mugs when Nora comes down here, that would be awesome.

Okay, come on. I mean, she knows I'm here. She saw Aidan not die. She saw you wolf out. You know, in the words of Don Aidan, it's all good.
