Anything which comes too easily is an insult to both the creator and the consumer.
“Dreams are strange curiosities,” he said, eyes still on the balloon.
“Sure, everyone possesses the ability to lay their heads down and imagine,
but to do so without limitations or doubt? That is something else entirely.
Dreams are boundless, shapeless things. Given strength and form from
individual imaginations. They’re wishes.” He looked at me, then reached
out and removed my hatpin. “All it takes is one shard of doubt to wedge
itself into them”—he swiftly stuck the balloon with my pin, and the air
whooshed out as it descended to the ground—“and they deflate. If you can
dream without limits, you can soar to great heights. Let the magic of your
imagination set you free.”

“The end. I want to tell her this isn't her fault. My decision, my consequences. I've heard her say those words. She'll understand. I want to tell her I'm sorry I couldn't get her out of this mess. I'm sorry I won't be there to see the boy she marries, the family she raise. I'm sorry.
But the only word that leaves me is, 'live.'
The second king's grip keeps me upright. He squeezes my hands. 'She loved you, and my hope is that you will heed her desire to live well, Ten. Live well.”

“Words do not heal trauma," she said.
"Then tell me how I heal this."
"You don't. You love me through the fear, even when my doubt hurts, and I will do the same for you.”
