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.
Relationships
- Vicky Walker (MC): She is a possible love interest. Vicky doesn't get weak around Hunger and that makes him fascinated. He wants her to himself, as a kind of experiment at first.
- Plague: His younger sister. Hunger doesn’t care that Plague hates him and is afraid of him.
- War: His brother. Hunger despises him because he thinks War is stupid and naive.
- Death: His brother. Hunger is indifferent towards Death.

- "What if I want to experience intimacy with someone?" [...] "To experience the warmth of a touch, a smile, to immense myself in a long conversation without feeling fear from the person I'm talking to. What if I want to feel like an ordinary immortal? What if I want to experience this with you?" (Diamond scene – S2, Ep9)
- "Because I'm interested in you. And I want to help you." (Diamond scene – S2, Ep9)

Trivia
- Zodiac Sign: Taurus ♉
- Height: 193 cm, 6’4’’
- Do’s: observing people and trying to understand their reason for living; feeling weak, feeling alive and mortal; the influence of mortals on the Horsemen
- Don’ts: Mother of Life’s desire to avoid mistakes, which he finds alluring instead; his destructive nature; pretending to be submissive
- Interesting fact: Hunger first tasted cigarettes when he descended into the world of humans for the second time to bring them misery. Nothing bothered him, and everything bored him to no end. That was until he came upon a dying man, greedily clutching a cigarette. His withered lips clenched the filter, and his blank stare sought no escape. Hunger was impressed by this horrifying addiction, an experience utterly unfamiliar to him. He waited until the man was unconscious and took the pack from his still-supple fingers. The destructive power of addiction attracted Hunger. It was something human and, therefore, weak. There was something about death that Hunger unconsciously desired. He smoked, imagining one day becoming like that man with a blank stare, leaving the mortal world behind. But his acquaintance with Vicky and the Order sobered him and brought color to a life where addiction had no place...[1]
- Hunger’s strength lies in the weakness of others. When he’s around, ordinary mortals faint and immortals become weak.
- He also can take away the pain of others.
- When a person is weak, it allows him to cast illusions.
- He smokes cigarettes, the only thing he likes among the mortals’ inventions.
- Hunger lives on a mountain in the Mother of Life’s home and doesn’t go down to the others.
- He is curious to experience love and to feel like an ordinary immortal.
- In the Horsemen’s world no one cries, laughs, or screams. Hunger never cried, but he wants to learn how.
- If Hunger is your love interest, you discover that he never kissed anyone before the MC. He had never known intimacy, neither physical nor spiritual, and having finally discovered it all its depth with the MC, he gets scared.
- He can’t commit suicide, that’s how the Mother of Life made the Horsemen.
- Hunger can create an army with his clones. But it has a limit, the ones that dies doesn’t rise again. And he can only create a certain amount at once.
