"(3) Zhi Ging is always expected to perform extra well or go the extra mile and be the bigger person over every millennia old adult tutor there. Everyone around her is tirelessly abusing the fact that she has nobody outside of her circle of friends at school.

“You once told me that the human eye is god's loneliest creation. How so much of the world passes through the pupil and still it holds nothing. The eye, alone in its socket, doesn't even know there's another one, just like it, an inch away, just as hungry, as empty.”
