....
- Chris Merrill: They're coming for you, Nadia. They're coming for everyone.
....
- Crysilda Wilkes: Annie. Can't you see what these dirty birds want? Can't you see how you're giving it to them? Giving her to them. Dirty words in a dirty book blind you to what's really going on, just like they did with your father.
