INTERVIEW

"my biggest regret in life was abandoning my babies, my triplets. but their father... the man was monstrous, a beast, insatiable. i remember how hot his breath felt on my neck, how unsurprised and apathetic his wife's expression was whenever she glanced at my baby bump. i can't believe how naive i was. it was one mistake to sleep with my boss - i could make all the usual excuses, that i was young, impressionable, a foreign woman in a foreign place, but it doesn't feel right - but to leave them, i feel so awful. i'll never get over this, of course i won't. god knows how they're getting on with that bastard."

freja håkansson, mother

"harry's not the most supportive brother. sure, he'll be there to slate my boyfriends and take the piss out of my outfits, but when it comes to emotional support? i stick to cleo for that, he's just so useless. he's not in touch with his feelings. well i guess he is actually, the boy could sulk for england! he really resents not getting his own way, that's something he and cleo have in common. i wish he'd be more upfront about how he's feeling, rather than lashing out for about ten minutes then pretending nothing's wrong the rest of the time. he'd really benefit from letting go once in a while."

octavia rutherford, sister

"getting involved with harry rutherford was one of the biggest mistakes i've ever made, and i walked straight into it. he was one of those overly flirtatious guys, the kind that could hone in on your deepest insecurities and offer an apparently flippant compliment that just made your night. he never even pretended he wasn't out to get with as many girls as casually as possible and yet he was still successful! i think it was how upfront he was that allowed him to get away with it, actually. he was so charming and so funny, you never knew if he was being serious or not. he was all fun and games until i told him i was pregnant, that sure as fuck knocked the grin off his face. i always thought that beneath it all he was a decent guy, but he's seen his daughters twice in two years. obviously i was wrong."

henrietta sykes, twenty-two

"harry was always an odd one. he was always talkative and would get away with as much as i let him, but it was always good humored, and he stopped as soon as he realized he was overstepping a line. he was perhaps a bit on the lazy side, but he was such a talented boy when it came to creative pursuits. i saw a new side to him when he came in to parents evening with a forlorn stepmother in tow... i get the impression not everything was perfect at home, but he never let that show at school. looking back he was one of the better students i had that year."

john grant, seventy

"hamlet is the best friend i could ever ask for. no joke at all! i guess i've only known him no longer than a year. but whatever, still the best! there aren't many good guys out there, there are probably about five in the world, i've come to think. and harry is one of them. i've literally never had someone be so gentle with me, which sounds so false, and if you'd seen the things he's said to me you wouldn't get it at all. actually, you'd probably say he was the biggest dick to ever walk this earth. but it's an act.. or maybe it's not even an act. but that's just how he lets things out. he'll never straight up tell you he's mad at you, but you just know when he goes on his endless rants. they've made me cry multiple times, no lie! this all sounds like he's a twat though, and he's really not. he cares more about people then he lets off, i think it all stems down to his family. which i can't say i know much about, but there's got to be something that makes him only look for the worst in people. he finds your weak spot and plays on it, always. maybe i'm just fucked up calling him a good person here, because he's sounding like a huge fucking dick right now. nvm!"

ivy westerveldt, twenty-two

"what an utter cunt. layabout, faker, gutless... harry's just an utter tool, a totally overdramatic little shit."

PERSONAL

but really, i am...

i live through comic books, i'm like an acne ridden thirty year old virgin.

and i live by...

"maybe i have something to prove--to him or myself or both. or maybe i care because i've been alone most of my life. ever since i was a child. alone in every kind of darkness. hunting evil or just waiting for the dawn. it must be some kind of comfort to have a partner. someone to trust at your back. so maybe when i see him with robin i want to see me. he's like me--a loner--yet he and his partner somehow make a perfect team."
