Saoirse Ronan as Primrose Kent

When you die, you go to heaven; at least that's what I believed; everyone deserves a death. I was gonna die of old age; surrounded by children and grandchildren, not unclaimed and forgotten. Mitchell was going to go down in a blaze of gunfire and glory; not cold and alone and shit scared, he didn't think death would smile at him first. Death was always a certainty, the punch line we could all see coming, but not for Mitchell. For a vampire, death isn't the end, but the beginning. So here we are; overlooked and forgotten; unnatural and supernatural; watching the dance from the sidelines. At least Annie was surrounded by friends and family, at least she got that bit right. You know the worst thing about being a ghost? It's lonely. You'll give anything for that crumb of comfort, that feeling of skin against skin that says it's OK, I'm here. It's a hunger; the most basic instinct. You might even drag others into this world of the dead; even if it means turning them into monsters, too. Then there are the ones like George; the ones that should have died, but shattered and bloody, they walk away from the train wreck, but at what cost? They're scared; transformed. They're monsters now, too aberrations, the stuff of nightmares. The big bad wolf. So what have we got left to look forward to; us refugees, the flotsam and jetsam of death? Maybe, if we still deserve such a thing as mercy...   We find each other.
