fatima aamer bilal, excerpt from moony moonless sky’s ‘the theatrics of a sick girl.’

This line, this FREAKING LINE, hits me so hard every time. Walls have ears and the workers heard him. Because the workers have literally become a part of Hadestown, and nothing else.

Show them a crack and they’ll tear down the wall/lend them an ear and the kingdom will fall.
