    Summary

    How many burials at sea had she witnessed on this deck? How many children had she watched dissolve into that same dark smear across the sky? How was it that each time, it was as though every one of them had died all over again, as though she stood at all of their funerals at once?

    Or: The Bad Kids never make it out of the cafeteria on day one.

    Summary

    “And maybe no one loved Kipperlilly, and maybe she was an asshole and I would have hated her. Fine, whatever. I am sure this will not be news to you, but I am not used to empathy. Sometimes I struggle to care about anything but my cats and you, my loving fucking sister. So forgive me if I’m a little upset, but I am starting to wonder whether the only reason I have been allowed to live is that I happened to be tortured in broad daylight in front of my closest family member.”

    Aelwyn has some questions about Kipperlilly. Adaine struggles to give her good answers.
