‘… when they would not have to hide who they were, when they wouldn’t have to go through endless distortions just to be understood.’

‘violence shows them how much we’re willing to give up. violence is the only language they understand, because their system of extraction is inherently violent. violence shocks the system. and the system cannot survive the shock. you have no idea what you’re capable of, truly. you can’t imagine how the world might shift unless you pull the trigger.’

BABI GILA SIAL

‘It was unbearably loud. Robin did not remember such a din from his childhood; either Canton had grown much busier, or his ears had grown unaccustomed to its sounds.’
