They speak of Roma Montagov and Juliette Cai as the ones who dared to dream. And for that, in a city consumed by nightmares, they were cut down without mercy.

This is why my betrayal was so terrible. Because you believed me incapable of hurting you, and yet I did.

There will be hatred. There will be war. The country will fight itself to pieces. It will starve its people, ravage its land, poison its breath. Shanghai will fall and break and cry. But alongside everything, there has to be love—eternal, undying, enduring. Burn through vengeance and terror and warfare. Burn through everything that fuels the human heart and sears it red, burn through everything that covers the outside with hard muscle and tough sinew. Cut down deep and grab what beats beneath, and it is love that will survive after everything else has perished.

when the initial emotion weakened, the responses still remained. the clenched fist and hot veins, the blurred vision and quickened pulse. and in such remains, juliette was not in control of what they might develop into.
