“I've been thinking about what Petra said after the trials. She felt like she never belonged anywhere - at the Cottage or anywhere else - but that she'd accepted it. The rest of us were searching for the place we belonged. But I think that's why Petra succeeded when we all failed. Because you never find the place you belong. Duke Karolinge said it himself - the cruxes are only symbols. There's nothing inherently magical about say, leaves or moths. The trick is to accept the hole in yourself. Accept that it will never be filled, not with flowers or herbs or any other thing. Like Petra accepted herself.”
