"And you saw something vulnerable in Rosabelle when the rest of us couldn’t. You fought to keep her alive when I was ready to kill her. You risked your own life to get us to listen. We all underestimated you. I made mistakes. You were right about all of it. Rosabelle is now the only resource we have against possible annihilation, and I’m grateful for that. I’m grateful to you.”

“It helps that when I look at Aaron Warner Anderson, Living Legend, I think about how he once single-handedly fought off dozens of soldiers armed with nothing but a machete—but also how he once slapped me in the head with a pair of rubber gloves and taught me how to scrub a toilet.”

“I’d asked her once, years ago, why she preferred to read books with happy endings. Ella’s eyes had dimmed a little when she said, Life taught me enough about pain. I want to read stories that teach me about joy.”

“she dug around in the cooler and produced two bright green grapes, which she used for its eyes.
She said it looked just like me.
“Is this a joke?” Kenji had said, because, of course, Kenji was there.
He’d heard about our plans and insisted on joining us, and the trip nearly began and ended with murder.”

“I did everything I could to keep him happy when he showed up, because my little-kid head thought that if I was a pleasure to be around—if I smiled enough, if I kept the apartment clean, if I learned as much as I could—maybe he’d stay for longer.”

“I was right.
I hate that I was right.
She’s sleeping on the cold, hard ground without even a proper pillow or blanket. I drag myself upright and cross the room to the closet, throwing it open.
Empty.
Not a single article of clothing. This is a coastal winter, but it’s still winter. She must be freezing. She must be so uncomfortable.”

“I’m imagining how she must’ve removed the pin from the ruined jacket. How she must’ve washed it and placed it on the ground next to her head, like it was a small treasure to be displayed.
I feel like my chest is caving in.”

“My dreams about her are so small they’re terrifying. I could live off so little. I just want to turn on a light for her. I want to sit on a couch with her. I’d be thrilled to answer a question to her satisfaction.
No, smaller than that. So much smaller.
I just want to see her.”

“Rosabelle is pushing me away for a reason. She’s trying to protect me from something. I can feel it. I can fucking feel it: she’s putting herself in danger.

“My jacket.
That’s my jacket.
There, in the middle of the floor. She’s made a small nest in the center of the room, my worn denim jacket laid out, arms open on the ground, its fleece collar winking in the weak light. My wool hat is set just above it like a punctuation mark.
Or a pillow.”
