"She was in a terrible marriage and she couldn't talk to anyone. He used to hit her, and in the beginning she told him that if it ever happened again, she would leave him. He swore that it wouldn't and she believed him.

She just chatted with him, but that night, her husband threw her into a mirror."

Survival
"The question stayed with me every day, through every class, through every Op. I felt its teeth tighten around the back of my neck each time I was dismissed without a second look; it had locked it's jaws and wouldn't let me or my conscience go."
Conscience
"Are you sure this isn't a nightmare? And that we won't just wake up?Yes.Because dreamers always wake up and leave their monsters behind."
Dreams
"My mom used to say that sometimes just saying something aloud was enought to make it true. I wasn't so sure about that."
Belief
"I had the strangest feeling-like I had lost something without ever really having it in the first place-that i wasn't what I once was, and wasn't at all what I was meant to be."

Do continue."
Humor
"She imagined she could taste the storm in him, the battering winds of desperation and frustration that met her own, blow for blow."
Change
"Like any girl, she still felt the echoes from earlier eras of repression. She'd been raised by a mother who'd fought hard to get a wage she deserved, to have access to education when she lacked every advantage, to travel on her own terms. The idea she was being asked-that she was expected to simply play along-made the blood throb in her veins. She was already in the damn stays. Wasn't the enough?"
