Most people thought the biggest sacrifice they could make was to die for something. They were wrong. The biggest sacrifice someone could make was to live for something—to allow it to consume you and turn you into a version of yourself you didn't recognize. Death was oblivion; life was reality, the harshest truth that had ever existed. "You want it so much you'd say yes to anything. Believe in anyone. One more favor, one more kind gesture...and maybe, just maybe, they'll give you the love you want so desperately you'd whore yourself out for it."

The Raven King wrote: ""We didn't have The Gallery in order to look into your souls. We had The Gallery to see if you had souls at all""

“They had kept the possibilities at bay and continued to learn about one another. To know. So, when they did make love, finally, maybe inevitably, it had shaken Ren to the core. It was like traveling into the center of a deep wilderness and realizing you already knew the place by heart.
