“A city reborn is a city traumatized.
It remembers its past, every second that it took to get to this point. It sees the former version of itself and knows that it has changed, its boots no longer fitting, its hats no longer comfortable. The streets trace how they used to sprawl. No matter how it is paved over and reorganized, memories and echoes do not fade away that easily.”
― Chloe Gong, Foul Lady Fortune

“The stars incline us, they do not bind us.”
― Chloe Gong, These Violent Delights
