Gerard turned away and ignored the cruelty of the meerkats, tore it from his mind. Lucretia needed a heart.

About This Quote

Gerard was very upset about the death of Lucretia. He could not handle the fact that this had just happened and now there was nothing he could do to change it. He needed to find another heart, one that he could use to replace Lucretia’s. However, there was no way that he would be able to find another heart, so Gerard turned away and ignored the cruelty of the meerkats.
