there’s a poem that starts with:

i wonder what it was abt this statement that clued noelle in to the fact that it might have been her father’s bet counterpart .. i don’t remember too much abt aleph’s prt but i doubt it would have gone unmentioned if her father was an employee ? i’m assuming he was involved in some branch of gov or public safety .. possibly had been told by her parents how they’d always wanted to name their baby noelle ? bc 15/16 yrs is a lot of time to deliberate a child’s name unless u r very set on one in particular

On a tangential note I love '한(Han)', the Korean word for sadness-helplessness-rage so much? It's such a useful word, like how 'Angst' is so good at describing the complex emotional combination of sadness-anxiety-fear. I don't think there's an English word quite like it.

this is how i imagine mutt and twyla looked at alexis through the entirety of their relationship
