“‘Thaddea… you cannot be serious. That thing is huge. How are we going to carry it out of here?’

I love them XD

“Darling, you know better than anyone. People hate what they are afraid of, and they are most afraid of what they don’t understand. Wunimals are still something of an enigma, I suppose, and therefore, some people see them as a threat. Especially, though of course not exclusively, the older generations.”

“Because often, Miss Crow, telling people they’re at risk creates a different, sometimes even greater risk. People are dangerous when they’re frightened.”

“I do remember, yeah. Despite my advanced age of 21, Hawthorne, my decrepit brain does still allow me to reach into its vast memory bank to the distant past of four whole days ago.”
