“I want you to stay out of it.” I close my eyes. “This isn’t your fight.”
“Do you really believe that?” says Wes, throwing the towel down on the table. “That just because you keep me at arm’s length, just because you don’t tell me what you’re going through, that it somehow stops it from being my fight too? That somehow you’re sparing me anything?”

“I didn’t tell you,” I point out.
“Well I’m glad I found out.”
“Why’s that?”
“Because now I won’t laugh when we become Crew.”
“The funny thing about armor is that it doesn't just keep other people out. It keeps us in. We build it up around us, not realizing that we're trapping ourselves.” - The Unbound, Victoria Schwab.
