guess who just finished reading harrow the ninth :)

[terezis]

gideon the first is so fascinating to me. mans is described as so unfailingly loyal to john and married to his work both pre and post apocalypse that he

- let john remove his arm no questions asked

- walked into a hostile negotiation where a bunch of guns would be aimed at him ready to kill, armed with a nuclear bomb, bc john asked him to

- despite the fact that he was only ever “interested” in two people, pyrrha and wake, he ate the first’s soul and punched the second out of an airlock

and yet, when god asked him to mercy kill one (1) teenager, he just. he couldn’t do it. he admits that he pulled his punches and apologizes to her for it. that’s like one of three times he ever speaks

like yes sure harrow’s a pathetic wet rat who it is impossible not to feel sorry for but why was she the line in in the sand for him. u can allow murdering your soulmate and who you thought was the mother of your child. u can condone nuclear armageddon. but killing one fucked up teen is off the table. i want to study this man

"Poor child," [Teacher] said, "we're all sorry. We never intended this to happen, none of us. The poor child."

GtN pg 326

Who is the child???

What were all those other people - hundreds of people - doing at Canaan House?

What had they intended to do?
