Quotes by Ai Jiang (?)

“In HOME, Liam was a dream. Here, he's a flawed but beautiful reality. Whispers of our future together lull us both into a dreamless sleep. It's the first time we find such emptiness comforting.”
― Ai Jiang, Linghun

“I can’t tell if what burns down my cheeks is rain or tears, but I suppose it doesn’t matter because one eats from the outside and the other within.”
― Ai Jiang, I am AI

“Feelings, emotions, experiences, are all part of humanity's shared language, and in Linghun, that shared language is grief. Grief is a language that tears us apart, but it is also what brings us together. Remember, you are never alone.”
― Ai Jiang, Linghun
