Absalom's memories of before the accident are hazy. He thinks he was a pretty dreamy kid, lost in sounds and music. Becoming part of a band in high school got him some popularity from the wannabe hipster crowd, although Absalom didn't really care. That just made him more mysterious, though. His passion for the music drew people to him. One of those was Spencer Tatum. She noticed Absalom and he noticed her. They did a little flirtatious dance around each other, never really being friends, never really exchanging many words at all, just looks and interest. He was intimidated by her power, as everyone was, but also fascinated by how it worked. He observed her playing the social game like he played an instrument. He was surprised that she was into ritual stuff, but not that she invited him. He figured this was when their flirting would pay off. Instead he woke up on a gurney in a corridor while the doctors worked on the other kids. They'd left him for dead and, worse, he felt dead. The music wasn't there any more. He couldn't hear or feel it. As he convalesced, his parents worried about him because he kept undertaking more and more dangerous stunts to get feeling, any feeling back That is what would get his heart beating again, he was sure. But more recently, as he begins to interact with people from before, at school and at home, who now appear to him like strangers he knows only through reading about them, he has started to think that he isn't Absalom Raines after all. Absalom died in the explosion. What now walks in his skin is something quite different, and much darker.
