    Laura Sebastian
    “I take one last look at my reflection in the mirror. Ashes already flake down over my cheeks and nose, marking me. The red stain I used on my lips looks like fresh blood.

    I am angry.
    I am hungry.
    And I promise myself that one day I will watch them all burn.”

    “A city reborn is a city traumatized.
    It remembers its past, every second that it took to get to this point. It sees the former version of itself and knows that it has changed, its boots no longer fitting, its hats no longer comfortable. The streets trace how they used to sprawl. No matter how it is paved over and reorganized, memories and echoes do not fade away that easily.”
    Chloe Gong, Foul Lady Fortune
