“I am safe here,' Kissimi whispered. 'Down there… it was too loud. The cracking of the ice. The people’s hearts are beating in unison. The hunger and the fear. It hurt.'
'And now?' the Old Woman asked.
'Now I feel nothing.'
'Is that better?”

“Kissimi did not run. She did not flinch. She opened her arms.
Take me, she told the wave. Drown me. I am too heavy for this earth.
But the wave did not crash.
The wave did not fall.
It listened.
Sometimes the world changes for those bold enough to speak their true feelings. The wave bent, gentle as a mother’s arms, and gathered her up, holding her trembling heart.
It did not pull her under.
It lifted her.”

“Selene: No. That’s not it.
Dr Kris: Why do you say that?
Selene: Because I feel too much. Autistic people… they don’t feel things. They’re like robots. They don’t understand love. I understand love. I understood it so well that it destroyed me. She typed faster now, the keys clacking like angry teeth.
Selene: I loved James. I loved him with everything I had. I loved him so much it burned. I tried so hard to be what he needed. I gave up everything for him. I smiled when I wanted to scream.”

“Come home, Sesi breathed, though she knew she shouldn’t wish it. Kissimi had run from a pain too large to name, and who was Sesi to call her back into it?
But selfishness clawed at Sesi’s chest, sharp and relentless. She ached for her sister.”
