Hunger

**Hunger** is a love interest in the book Heaven's Secret 2.

## About Hunger

**Hunger** is one of The Horsemen of the Apocalypse. He is the third Horseman to appear in the story, spreading weakness and food shortages wherever he goes. Hunger is calm and arrogant, as if he understands that no force in the world could break him. He is cynical and tired of his own existence.

He has long and thin fingers, his body is cold, his breath is icy like menthol, and his eyes are empty and gleam a cold, devouring melancholy. Hunger has a deadly aura, and his gaze seems to hold a millennium of boredom. He seems the least like a Horseman. He isn’t interested in their mission and has no end goal in life. Hunger lives his own tragedy, without fear or respect for anyone.

His presence extracts all the strength from those around him, but he cannot control this power. That's why Hunger is surprised and amused when he meets the Main Character (Vicky Walker), as she is not affected by his influence and doesn't feel anything in his presence. Because he has no power over her, Hunger becomes very interested to the point of telling his sister Plague that he wants the MC for himself.

If you take his diamond scene in S2, Ep3 you discover another Hunger’s power: he can heal a person with a simple touch. In the scene he uses this power to absorb the MC’s wound, transporting her cut to his own face and also its pain, even if temporarily. Although Hunger touches almost no one, the MC was an exception.

Hunger hides his pain and vulnerability behind a cocky smile, and his arrogance makes Plague angry. But he doesn’t care about this, as he believes he doesn’t need anyone's love - not hers, nor his brothers’, nor Mother’s.

In S2, Ep5 Hunger imprisons the MC in a white room to try to understand why she is the only person who is not affected by his powers. He likes the idea of ​​having someone who feels normal around him, so he can be an ordinary immortal whose presence doesn’t bring pain and suffering.

In this same episode, depending on your choices, Hunger may reveal to the MC that is no relationship between the Horsemen and describes what he thinks of each of them: “Plague craves love and acceptance, desperately trying to prove her worth, but it’s ridiculous. War is Mother’s failed attempt at making a great warrior. Instead, he turned out to be a naïve fool who suffers from his own power. Death is the perfect watchdog. There’s nothing of a living creature in him.”

At the end of S2, Ep7 Hunger modifies the MC's power, revealing a potential that she is able to use. She can then suppress energy, just like him, but without taking it for herself. She is able to suppress the attacks from other immortals, making them less powerful and less deadly, but perhaps this ability has even more potential with training.

If Hunger is your love interest and you take his diamond choice in S2, Ep9 he states to the MC that he won't betray the Horsemen but that he will help her. He confesses that he is interested in the MC and that he wants to experience love with her like an ordinary immortal.
