Reply to comment by yancovigen in [WP] Your Significant Other has landed a book publishing deal! You're very proud of them, even if you don't actually enjoy their writing. One day, on a whim, you buy an actual copy in a book store. It's nothing like the pages they gave you to read. Nothing. by veriverd

I liked how he told her he never wanted her to change. That a monstruosity can somehow feel affection is cute, isn't it?

Honestly when you put it like that I can see why it could be cute, I think I was thrown by the horror, but you’re right

He probably doesn't have human emotions (he just mimics them), so his "affection" might be of different nature. So, I'd imagine he might be saving her up for later, for more sinister purposes.

I mean wouldn't his affection for her have carried over from when he was human? He purposely had her reading the wrong copy of the book draft because he didn't want her to change before he became a monster.

Has he ever been a real human though? The story doesn’t give us any background.
