"Will hanya menatapnya. Ada cahaya di matanya di tangga, saat dia mengunci pintu, ketika dia menciumnya - cahaya yang cemerlang dan menyenangkan. Dan itu terjadi sekarang, memudar seperti napas terakhir seseorang yang sekarat. Dia memikirkan Nate, berdarah sampai mati di lengannya. Dia tidak berdaya saat itu, untuk membantunya. Seperti dia sekarang. Dia merasa seolah-olah sedang menyaksikan kehabisan darah Will Herondale, dan tidak ada yang bisa dia lakukan untuk menghentikannya."

--- Cassandra Clare

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Will only looked at her. There had been light in his eyes on the stairs, as he'd locked the door, when he'd kissed her--a brilliant, joyous light. And it was going now, fading like the last breath of someone dying. She thought of Nate, bleeding to death in her arms. She had been powerless then, to help him. As she was now. She felt as if she were watching the life bleed out of Will Herondale, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
