“Un troupeau de théières sauvages

Les théières aussi ont disparu.
Félicité ne peut pas leur en vouloir. C'est insultant, pour un troupeau choisi, choyé, de servir de seaux à pluie. Surtout quand elles n'ont pas de théière-mère pour les encourager, comme un général saurait persuader ses soldats qu'il est noble de crever pour les délires d'un autre, de l'eau sableuse plein les plaies.
Là, les théières, elles ont dû se regarder avec leurs becs en l'air et se dire que les sacrifices, très peu pour elles. J'imagine qu'elles ont descendu l'escalier et sont parties dans les rues de Nice. Tout un troupeau de théières redevenu sauvage, bondissant et claquant sur les pavés. Sans mère, sans bergère. Libres, en somme.”
― Chris Vuklisevic, Du thé pour les fantômes

“We travellers, we move through so many artificial environments – so many combinations of air pressure, humidity, temperature, gravity – that we forget how achingly good it feels to step into the natural environment your body spent millions of years evolving for. Everything in you settles instantly, as if you are water and the world is the cup.”
― Becky Chambers, The Galaxy, and the Ground Within

“You will have noticed that I didn’t give this story a pat conclusion, and that’s deliberate. Katherine (my wife and frequent coauthor, K. A. Applegate) and I were among the earliest authors to encounter fan fiction via the internet. We’ve embraced it from the start. And some part of me hopes that fanfic writers will carry this story forward. Don’t ask me what happens to these characters next, because I don’t know. Will Dekka find love, perhaps with Simone? Will Cruz and Armo? How will Sam and Astrid do in this terrifying extension of earlier trauma? Maybe you have some ideas. I built the sandbox; if you want to bring your pails and shovels and play in it, cool. It’s one of the best things about writing for young people: you are my collaborators in imagination. If I leave blanks it’s because I know you’ll fill them.”
― Michael Grant, Hero
