“Banner, Kosabeus knew, wasn’t listening. Predictably, he was eyeballing various partygoers, offering them a wink or a smirk if he deemed them attractive enough. It was disgusting, Kosabeus thought, for Banner to still be so interested in these games. He was nearing sixty, for Mystis’s sake. And yet, there he was, still hitting up bars late at night, claiming he could bed anyone he wanted. His superiority complex was exacerbated by his position as Head of the Assembly. It was for the best Banner hadn’t attended the Batillus Academy, the premier school for War and Defense students; he would’ve emerged even haughtier than he was now. As it was, Banner went to the Ligva Academy, which stood out due to its emphasis on interdisciplinary learning. It was ironic, since Banner did nothing to demonstrate his interdisciplinary chops, instead heralding War and Defense as the greatest division. Kosabeus could only imagine the compliments his teachers and tutors had showered him with. Banner was the type of man who never heard no—not from his elders, his peers, or his conquests. Kosabeus was the only one in Banner’s inner circle who dared to temper his inflated sense of self-worth with a much-needed dose of reality.”

“In his youth, he was religiously skeptical. He didn’t believe in any of it—in the theology, the faith, the tomes. It all seemed so unbearably arrogant to him, saying that Mystis was their only savior and that the Imperial way of life was far superior to all others. How could they know? They hadn’t lived anywhere else; they hadn’t ever ventured outside their comfort zones. Were they not the least bit curious as to whether the stories they’d been fed were even remotely true? Where was their intellectual curiosity? Where was their doubt? When he left the Church, Avitus felt relieved. He hated the way the Church corrupted and deluded people. Imperials were so damn scared of death, of what Mystis would make of them, of how they’d be judged for their failures. But Avitus wasn’t. He didn’t believe Mystis existed.”

“The Glass War had defined multiple generations, but younger people—having grown up hearing and learning about the horrors of the Glass War—were war-weary. They didn’t want to vote for a war that too many of them would be forced to die in.”

“Avitus could feel his temper flaring. He did his best to control it, but it was rising within him, threatening to explode. He hadn’t been this way when he was younger, but the war had changed him, hardened him, made him into someone his civilian friends hadn’t been able to recognize.”

“A frigid wind whipped up the street, sending a shiver down Whitner’s spine. It was unusual for New Caelus to get this cold, especially before Brumus. Whitner hated the cold. And he hated watching Banner drift away from him, like a ship lost in the fog, with no desire to return home. Each time Whitner looked at Banner, he found it increasingly difficult to find his friend. Steadily, he was evaporating, vanishing into the air like smoke.”
