“Dara felt like his legs has been cut out from under-neath him. He and the grand wazir had argued plenty, but Kaveh had been Jamshid's father and a determined, ruthless advocate for their tribe.”
WHEN I TELL YOU I SOBBED SO HARD

Jamshid stepped closer, reaching for her hand. "Of course that's the kind of relationship I want to have. You being my sister would be the best thing that's happened to me in years."
IM A SOBBING MESS

"I know, Nahri, I know, all right?" And indeed, she-saw only frustrated sympathy in Ali's gray eyes. "But that's why you and I need to be united-against the rest of them if necessary." He touched her hand. "I meant everything I said to you in Cairo and back on the beach. I am your partner in this, your friend. I'm not going to betray you."
IM GONNA SOBBBB

oh god i’m once again devastated

i’m so sad :(((

"You can. It is what Nahri would want," she added, the words a sharp thrust to his heart. "You don't seem like an evil man, Afshin, but you have a lot of blood on your hands. Do this small kindness, mercy for a man who has suffered at the hands of the same creatures as you, and maybe a drop or two can be washed away." IM GONNA CRYYY

“Ali had never felt this way about someone before this tangle of tenderness and longing, of sheer terror and unexpected light, the certainty that he could have blissfully spent the rest of his life with her hand brushing his wrist as they perused books and argued about food in a Cairo ruin, the sensation like he'd been shoved off a cliff each time she grinned” AAAAA IM LOSING MY MIND

She wasn't the only one who had them. And there was one in particular Dara had been aching to try again.” OH MY GOOOODDDDD
