“What was it about mothers, that they could know you so well? And not know you at all.”
Yume Kitasei, The Deep Sky

“You ever think about how we live our life in constant motion?" Kat's voice asked in her ear. "Born on a rock spinning through space, and now here we are, rushing off to another. How come we can never just be? We've always got to go somewhere.”
Yume Kitasei, The Deep Sky

“Another thing she should have told Medix: that grief was a universal thing, no matter what sun you’d been born under. And they were both of them choking on it now, oblivious to the danger around them.”
Yume Kitasei, The Stardust Grail
