    “Because humans are complicated beasts, the monster said. How can a queen be both a good witch and a bad witch? How can a prince be a murderer and a saviour? How can an apothecary be evil-tempered but right-thinking? How can a parson be wrong-thinking but good-hearted? How can invisible men make themselves more lonely by being seen?

    "I don't know," Connor shrugged, exhausted. "Your stories never made any sense to me."

    The answer is that it does not matter what you think, the monster said, because your mind will contradict itself a hundred times each day. You wanted her to go at the same time you were desperate for me to save her. Your mind will believe comforting lies while also knowing the painful truths that make those lies necessary. And your mind will punish you for believing both.”

    “Many things that are true feel like a cheat. Kingdoms get the princes they deserve, farmers’ daughters die for no reason, and sometimes witches merit saving. Quite often, actually. You’d be surprised.”

    “You must speak the truth and you must speak it now, Conor O'Malley. Say it. You must.

    Conor shook his head again, his mouth clamped shut tight, but he could feel a burning in his chest, like a fire someone had lit there, a miniature sun, blazing away and burning him from the inside.

    “It'll kill me if I do,” he gasped.

    It will kill you if you do not, the monster said. You must say it.”

    Oh, I have heard of it, the monster said, putting its huge branch hands on its hips. But people usually know better than to speak it to me.”
