Gremlin squatted down and gently rapped Rob on the head with his knuckles. "Normal? You speak to Gremlin, and ask if you are normal? My friend, of course you are normal. A gentle spirit is not a sign of being some freak. No. Gremlin looks out at these things, and he sees corpses come back, affronts to nature and human, bastions of suffering. That is why Gremlin kills these things. Others see only threats to themselves. You, my friend, see what they were, people with hopes and dreams, vice and virtues. Some would say that makes you weak. No, Gremlin says. That makes you strong. How many can say they can look a friend in the eye and kill them because it is the right thing to do? Your gentle spirit is not a weakness, or a curse. Never allow yourself to think it is. There are not many of you, less now for they find defending themselves harder, but believe me my friend, the world needs you."
