“We have to die to get their pity said Victoire we have to die for them to find us noble. Our deaths are thus great acts of rebellion. A wretched lament that highlights their inhumanity. Our deaths become their battle cry. But I don’t want to die, Robin. I don’t want to die...I don’t want to be their tragic, lovely lack of figure. I want to live…and thrive and survive them.”
