183 " He holds my gaze as if his eyes alone could set me on fire. A waste. There is nothing left in me to burn. "
184 " Not pretty, is it, lightning girl?" She sneers, noting my gaze. Disdain drips from her words like venom from fangs. "But you don't like to bother with ugly things. "
185 " Flickering flame distorts their features, turning eyes into burning coals, mouths into smiling fangs, and men into demons. One "
186 " Every house has a door, but it also has windows, a hole in the roof, or a broken lock. There is always a way in. "
