“The…the worst thing about this place,” she hissed slowly, forcing the words out, “isn’t that it treats people like chattel.” [...] “The worst part,” she whispered, breathing hard, “just the worst part, is that it tricks you.” [...] “It makes you think you’re a thing. It makes you resign yourself to becoming a crude good. It makes things out of people so thoroughly, they…they don’t even know that they’ve become things. Even after you’re free, you don’t even know how to be free! It changes your reality, and you don’t know how to change it back!” [...] “It’s a system,” she said. “A…device. Tevanne and the world it builds for us…it’s a machine.”
