Quotes

• /I know. He died because none of us matter to someone like the Tyrant, or any of these other ‘masters’ who claim to deserve their estates. We die because we are less than Chatcaava. You will try to tell me that he died because he loved you, and the Tyrant wanted to punish you. But that’s only how he died, Silence. The ‘why’ remains the same, no matter how we die. We die because our lives aren’t worth as much as a court male’s./

• /The Surgeon has told me you aliens like to kill yourselves. Out of grief, or guilt. This is a luxury. I refuse you your death until I have avenged my nestbrother, and the Tyrant is dead. Anything else is selfishness. On your part. I am told this is how to motivate you./

• "They think they can hide things from the people who clean their toilets. That will kill them in the end."

Trivia
