Ahren would not be the first to think that maybe whoever he had known as Laruku was gone and he would not be the last. If the hybrid didn't know himself, then how could anyone else say? What were the standards to measure by? Where did the personality of the past end and the one of the present begin? Subjectivity destroyed all definitions. And meaning? They always tried so hard to make sense of things, to derive purpose and motive from actions and reactions, but what could anyone say? What if some things -- what if most things, what if all things -- what if they were really meaningless after all? Nada es nada por nada.

Why?he asked then. Why did there have to be meaning? Who was anyone to say that it was true after all, that he had a black heart and vengence buried deep inside it because nothing would ever be good enough. Was it denial or more nihlism? Or was even meaninglessness meaningless to that end?
