“My anger scares me, my fear scares me, and somewhere in there is shame, too — why am I so enraged and so scared? I am afraid of going to bed and of waking up; afraid of tomorrow and of all the tomorrows after.”

Never was a big fan of being able to turn invisible. Probably since I already am lol. But my side affect is its only once a month... So what would I even do once a month???

I think that the sweetest thing Riven does for Musa (from what I remember, I haven't watched S2 since it aired) is not telling anybody that he saw Musa willingly give up her powers to the scrapers... not even Musa herself at first.

He tries to give her all the time she needs to process what happened, what she did, the consequences of it, without worrying that he might reveal her secret, especially bc at this point Musa and Riven have interacted what... two or three times?

He only comes clean when the whole all thing reaches a boiling point and Musa is literally stuck. Riven earlier saw her getting aggressive on the training mats so he can at least suspect that she's not taking the whole powerless thing really well. So he doesn't leave her alone and talks to her... and to get her to open up he admits that he knows what she did.

I think that he tells her only bc he thinks it might help her to know that sombody knows the truth and does not judge her for it.

After years of living in the adulting world, I think I’ve come to a realization: Manners exist to guide you to good conduct even when you’re in a bad mood.

When you’re happy, when you’re feeling generous, when you’re pleased with your gift or your service or your outcome, it’s easy to be nice. It’s easy to tip the waiter well when you’ve had a good day. It’s easy to thank the teller or the clerk when you got what you wanted out of the transaction. It’s easy to smile and chit-chat with strangers on the road when you’re in a good mood.

It’s hard to tip the waiter when you didn’t enjoy your food. It’s hard to thank the clerk for their time when you’ve just been told there’s a problem with their account and they weren’t able to fix it for you. It’s hard to think of something nice to say when your aunt gave you a crappy sweater you neither need nor want. It’s hard to be nice to people when you’ve had a shitty day. It’s HARD.

That’s what manners are for. Scripts and phrases that you learn by rote to say when you can’t think of a single nice or good thing to say from your own volition. Yes, they’re scripted. Yes, the sentiment is empty. But the scripts work in every situation, and the emptiness provides a buffer between your own unhappiness and the rest of society.

Because most of the time, it’s not the waiter’s fault that the food you ordered wasn’t what you expected. It’s not the clerk’s fault that your account is overdrawn. It’s not the fault of the barista or the stranger on the subway that you got fired today or your favorite aunt died. But even when you can’t summon a smile or a cheery word, you can still have manners, because they will serve you the same in sunshine or rain.

This is very wise and very well put.
