No one has allowed me peace or rest before. Why should it be different now?
( perhaps it was always meant to be this way, she thinks, macabre. what saint has ever managed to escape their grim fate? not alina, now. she'd been a fool to think it were easy as sweeping away the silk of a spiderwebs, to forget the sticky trap of destiny. )
Thank you. For trying. It's more than most would do.

I wish I could end this for you, Alina. If I manage to avoid the dungeons, I will still endeavor to find who hurt you specifically.
In the meantime, I am just sorry to see you dragged through all of this when you deserve to be at peace and resting right now.
