    Bookmarker's Notes

    "Astrid didn’t set a pattern, nothing that Mari could put on her calendar, but she became predictable enough. She’d arrive in the early morning, after the drunks have gone to sleep but before anyone else in the house would be awake; the warmth from the ovens next door only starting to seep in through the thin walls. Mari changed her schedule so that she’d be reliably in the entryway or dining room to greet her. Astrid would come in and tell Mari which dates to focus on. Sometimes the date would be years ago, sometimes it would have been a few days, but most focused on the end of the year. Mari would try to remove the curse, if any, for those days. Then they’d sit across from each other in the dining room in silence. She watched Astrid closely, trying to gauge her mood through every blink and microexpression, until she was satisfied that Astrid was calm enough to not cause any issues. Astrid seemed to take this as the price she paid. That, and the piles of gold she’d drop in the donation box."

    "He’d hesitated. It was only for a second, the briefest weakness where he thought of Caleb’s freedom to do right in his own way and the way that Caduceus Clay had regarded him when he said he liked him, and all the nonsense about pain and love and making a better world their lot had spouted. But it was enough time for him to get socked in the face and for a younger Volstrucker to dive in and save the entire operation. He hesitated, and in that moment, he’d failed to douse the flame of hope. There is no room for hesitation in conquest."

    Summary

    How do we bear this burden, far too much to carry?
    How do we change our prison to a sanctuary?
    We’ve been kept from the light, no one ever gave a damn
    If I’ve no one to fight, how do I know who I am?
    - Emilie Autumn, One Foot in Front of the Other
