+cries a bit inside+ :')

(why can't it be longer)
"Killing people dulled everyone’s humanity, Liam thought, but protecting them brought it back bit by precious bit."
...
"Falling in love with Syd didn’t make up for the loss and the pain— life wasn’t a balance sheet— but the loss and the pain made falling in love possible."

:') :') :') "“I’ll take care of it,” she said . “I don’t want them all wetting themselves.”“I haven’t made anyone wet themselves in weeks.” Marie raised an eyebrow at him again. “Okay, days. But the work crew was being loud outside Syd’s window. And I didn’t actually plan to smash any of their heads in. It’s not my fault if they thought I would.”"

AHAHAHAHA, no way, after being all ??? at the beginning of the second book abt the end of the dude and then trying to accept it for the rest of the book, I'm now given this: " Marie nodded. “This isn’t a recording… this is…a… I guess… a…”“A download,” the tiny hologram of Knox laughed, and gestured to himself. “You can’t just kill something this beautiful.”" LOL, thank you

ok, I enjoy getting to know a bit more about Liam.
"As Liam had learned, the rich were outnumbered and needed to keep the people divided in order to rule them. If the masses were ever to unite against the system, it would never survive."

lol, I like Liam: "People could be exhausting when you weren’t trying to kill them."

aaaah, it was exciting to get the short story with the newsletter! Am kinda nervous to read it, though, because this will really be it then and what if it's not enooough :/ (aaah)
