"Got bit by accident when I was a lad," lie, it wasn't an accident, "tossed outta home once I survived my first change, an' was accepted by one of the best feckin' rat-gangs 'round - The Protectors of the Poor.
"Now any skin - we got a lotta 'em, some got demon powers, some're unlucky sods," lie, they all have demon powers, "- any skin got the Church after 'em. Church sees a skin, they see a demon, plain as that. Church's motherfeckers're the 'Sworn, an' they got ways of sensin' skins - an' killin' us, too. Call it Holy Fire - burns only flesh."
