Magnus Bane: I've had many, many happy memories in this apartment. But at the end of the day, it's just a thing. But my magic, it makes me feel alive. Yes, I can do fabulous tricks, jet around the world, help the people I love. But more than that... magic connects me to everything around me. Without magic, I feel like a stranger. The world keeps on going... and it's like... It's like I'm not a part of it. It's like, suddenly, I don't matter.
Alec Lightwood: Magnus, of course you matter.
Magnus Bane: I know. I know, Alexander. Everyone does. But without magic, I can't feel it. This apartment is not important. I have you and I have my magic. Truly, that's enough. Please, try and be happy for me.
