    “He leaned forward to inspect her closer. "Is that all hair?"

    ... Sudden, overwhelming panic clawed up Cress's throat. With a squeak, she ducked out of view of the camera and scrambled beneath the desk. Her back struck the wall with a thud that rattled her teeth. She crouched there, skin burning hot and pulse thundering as she took in the room before her— the room that he was now seeing too, with the rumpled bedcovers and the mustached man on all the screens telling her to grab her imaginary partner and swing them around.

    "Wha—where'd she go?" Thorne's voice came to her through the screen.

    "Honestly, Thorne." A girl. Linh Cinder? "Do you ever think before you speak?"

    "What? What did I say?"

    "'Is that all hair?'"

    "Did you see it? It was like a cross between a magpie nest and ball of yarn after it's been mauled by a cheetah."

    A beat. Then, "A cheetah?"

    "It was the first big cat that came to mind.”
    Marissa Meyer, Cress

    “Did you know that she was cyborg?” asked a woman in an unhidden tone of disgust.
    Kai stared at her, appearing confused, then let his gaze dance over the crowd. He shuffled his feet
    closer to the podium, a wrinkle forming on the bridge of his nose.
    Cinder bit the inside of her cheek and braced herself for adamant disgust. Who would ever invite a
    cyborg to the ball?
    But instead, Kai said simply, “I don’t see that her being cyborg is relevant. Next question?”
    Cinder’s metal fingers jolted.”
    Marissa Meyer, Scarlet

    Marissa Meyer
    “I don't like to think of it as 'stolen'. They have no proof that I didn't plan on giving it back."
    "You're kidding, right?"
    He shrugged. "You have no proof either."
    She squinted back at him. "Were you planning on giving it back?"
    "Maybe."
    An orange light blinked on in the corner of Cinder's vision-her cyborg programming picking up on the lie.”
    Marissa Meyer, Scarlet

    “But I'm a wanted fugitive, like Cinder." Thorne continued. "They do realise I'm missing, don't they?"

    “My point is that I am going to figure this out, like I always do. First, we’re going to find a way to get into Artemisia. We’re going to find Cress and rescue Cinder and Wolf. We’re going to overthrow Levana, and by the stars above, we are going to make Cinder a queen so she can pay us a lot of money from her royal coffers and we can all retire very rich and very alive, got it?"

    Winter started to clap. "Brilliant speech. Such gumption and bravado."

    "And yet strangely lacking in any sort of actual strategy," said Scarlet.

    "Oh, good, I'm glad you noticed that too," said Iko. "I was worried my processor might be glitching.”
    Marissa Meyer, Winter
