1 " Everyone works hard for the colony. Including [Redacted]. But all your father sees is a boy with no element. Whereas I see a carpenter and a tracker.

I'm more than just my element; and if you had one, you would be, too. Don't forget that. "

10 " All of us fear things we don't understand, or can't explain. "
