Andrew Rowe
“A part of me tried to fabricate reasons in my mind why it was too dangerous, or why it couldn’t be possible.

But I knew the truth — there was a part of me that was just afraid of change. And another part that was afraid of losing what made me special.

I’d risked my life for that attunement. Was it really fair for others to get them for free? Perhaps even any attunement of their choice?

But that was an inherently selfish line of thinking.”
Andrew Rowe, On the Shoulders of Titans

Jessica S. Olson
“I pretend to be human, but the mirror does not lie.”
Jessica S. Olson, Sing Me Forgotten
