Hi Angie!
I've answered this question a few different ways, but I think the best answer is that it came from two concrete places: reading the book A QUICK KILLING IN ART by Phoebe Hoban and a nightmare I had in 2012. The book is a biography of Jean-Michel Basquiat and though the character of Dari is certainly not Basquiat, some of his experiences as a teen inspired Dari's journey. The nightmare I had was about an easy betrayal. I'm assuming you've read the book so you probably know what I'm talking about. Those were the two big ones.
