"I imagine you're quite scared, but you can relax now. The grown-ups are here."

Idk guys. I literally started crying after reading that. I think I'm just tired of having to do everything and wishing that those with more authority etc could come to aid with how awful everything is. I know there is still a lot to be done, but the words were comforting.

I doubt that these are the parts I'm supposed to be tearing up at, but when Griffin spoke to Robin about losing his mother tongue and then the argument between Letty and Victoire. I got really emotional. The things Letty said were awful, and it's because she doesn't get it. That's just how it is tho, isn't it?

I've been annotating so much lately, I'm literally frothing to make comments. But "You're raised properly, and all that." I'M CRASHING OUT. The worst part is, IT'S SO REAL???

"—books are meant to be touched, otherwise they're useless..."
