C’était un accouchement difficile pour ma mère. Elle a eu du mal tandis que la sage-femme l'encourageait à pousser pour faire sortir mon frère et moi.

Différents membres de la meute ont des histoires différentes à propos de sa naissance. Certains prétendent qu'il n'a jamais pris une respiration et est né mort. D'autres membres jurent qu'il était vivant à la naissance puis est mort. Pour moi, le fait qu'il soit mort est tout ce qui compte. À partir de ce moment, on m'a tenu pour responsable de sa mort. J'étais le monstre. J'étais le meurtrier.
