the end.

What a bittersweet end. But what about Aefe & Caduan. My heart still aches for them. This could have gone a different way. The war could have been prevented and they both could have lived. I understand the plot, the story, the message, but selfishly, i wanted them to have their happy ending as well. Just the mere possibility of that ending makes my chest ache, and my heart swell.

“How hard do you think it would be, Councilor,” I said, “to create something new? Something that did fulfill that promise?”

I love her. I have never met a soul more patriotic that hers. She's the patriot of humanity at its core.

"Aefe didn’t move for us. She only stood there amidst her churning magic, her shoulders heaving, staring—as if she was trying to understand something about us and failing. Gods, she seemed so different now than when I last saw her. She had an almost childlike face. Huge, sad eyes. They looked even sadder now."

"Keep talking to me.” Once the tears began, I could not stop them. “Keep talking to me, Max.”
But the words never came.

Don't do this to me. Don't do this to me now.
