Repeatedly quotes a Tigrinya proverb as "ኵሉ ይሓልፍ ፍቕሪ ትቕጽል—kullu yihalif, fiqri yiterif—everything passes, love remains," except I'm looking at the Tigrinya trying to figure out how the alphabet works and realized that last word is not yiterif. Wordplay? Proverb's yiterif, ይተርፍ, "remains," has been changed to ትቕጽል, per google pronounced tǝq̲ǝṣǝl and translated as "continues." This story is one continuous paragraph.
