Aidan is probably the only person in the city who is not following the killings. He spends his days crafting his necklaces and his nights searching for beautiful twilight strangers. He feels no desire to kill, only the need to be near their pale deadly loveliness. He is drawn to them and they to him as surely, but more fatally, than bee to orchid.
Working in the basement he is completely absorbed. The act of creation focuses his existence. He is, for a brief moment, wrapped in the cosmos, at one with the universe.
