Kapre:A Love Story 33-41 by Rin Chupeco

“Monsters know nothing of lies;these are human enterprises.”

“But she knows about what traits are desirable and what aren’t-they don’t like rage in little girls.”

Dilemma: Leto must decide if faith is entitled to her anger

“What are you going to do? Faith asks. “Replace me with a soulless little drone? A more palatable version of me?“
Leto does what she’s asked to do by her mother but never questioned or thought about it in terms of the way the woman is altered
Can she make her own decisions or did her mother make her to be completely obedient
