⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ↳ “ But now, it was clear that whoever was sitting in front of Sasha was not human. Moreover, it had never been human. For the first time in her life Sasha saw—recognized, understood—what exactly an “embodied function” was. ( ... ) A glossary? An activator? A textbook? A textbook that was given a human name?

Alexandra “Sasha” Samokhina | Character Study (the vita nostra series)

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ↳ “ Sasha realized with all her core being something that many understood before her: The creature did not care that Sasha was loved by someone. And that she loved someone herself. And that she had had a childhood, and she had splashed on the seashore; and that she had an old knit sweater with a reindeer embroidered on the front. There were plenty of people loved by someone, the ones who carried a seashell, a button, or a black-and-white photograph in their pockets. But no one had ever been saved by memories, no one had been protected by words and pledges, and those loved greatly by others died too. ”
