Despite the fact that Raven and Tack are often fighting, it's impossible to imagine one without the other. They are like two plants that have grown around each other - they strangle and squeeze and support at the same time.

Raven has lost deeply, again and again, and she, too, has buried herself. There are pieces of her scattered all over. Her heart is nestled next to a small set of bones buried beside a frozen river, which will emerge with the spring thaw, a skeleton ship rising out of the water”.

For the first time in my life I've done something for me and by choice and not because somebody told me it was good or bad.

When you love someone, when you care for someone, you have to do it through the good and the bad. Not just when you're happy and it's easy.

I love you. Remember. And someday, I will find you again.

I vowed after that day that I would be your hero too, no matter how long it took

Each step is more difficult than the last; the heaviness fills me and turns my limbs to stone. You must hurt or be hurt.
