“Adults having their shit figured out is an illusion of childhood. You wake up one day and the mirage is gone. The soft gold sunlight now appears too yellow, too harsh.

― Trang Thanh Tran, They Bloom at Night

“I have warned you, if something happens to you, I will personally raze the Eternal Flame. That isn't a threat. It is a promise. Consider your survival as much as necessity to the Resistance as Holdfast's. If you die, I will kill every single one of them.”

“Being alive is not the same as living. I hope someday you'll have a chance to realise the difference.”
