I may have spent the morning tracking down a lunatic thanks to a holographic image of my dad, hallucinated, and wound up in a potential terrorist’s office where I had a super weird conversation, but at least pastizzi are normal.

I saw Death itself. It was a feral thing, made of smoke and shadow. It was hollow and empty. And hungry. Starving.

Who are the real monsters?
-
It's not knowing that's killing me. Not knowing if there's a chance that something can change, not knowing if there's hope at all.
-
I never thought about how important the sky was until I didn't have one.
-
I would use the same word to describe both my joy and the rain: torrential. This—this—this is all I ever wanted from the world: wide-open spaces and cooling rain and the chance to run.

I can think of no better way to meet a girl than to see her through the eyes of the story she loves best.

We’re so close we could touch. All it would take is for me to reach out my hand. But neither of us makes a move.
-
There’s a war going on, that much is clear. And I’m no longer sure I’m on the right side.

The glitter in the sky looks as if I could scoop it all up in my hands and let the stars swirl and touch one another but they are so distant so very far apart that they cannot feel the warmth of each other even though they are made of burning.
-
He's the only stable thing in the swirling chaos.
-
I have the whole world now, but I don't have him.
-
It wasn't that he called me a freak. It was the way he said it. Like he really meant it. Like he believed it.
