"It's not the same kind of pain," Venom huffs and takes another sip. "More on the emotional end, really. I had to bury my previous master, only for him to arise and immediately claim his love for another brought him back." That bitterness still gets to him after all this time, even after finding a potential partnership with a certain attorney.

Chances are it's the booze talking, and Venom takes yet another heavy sip.
