“Phoenix sank to the desk chair and stared at her computer screen. “I don’t know. I’ve lived like this for so long, it’s who I am. Everything seems so stupid. Like, look at this girl,writing to Sasha. She’s all”—he spoke in a falsetto voice—“‘OMG!’ and ‘LOL!’ and ‘WTF?’ and ‘Girl, you should totes go out with Tyler in Telluride!’” He looked up at her.“You’re seventeen years old, and this is how seventeenyear-olds talk to each other. I’m a thousand years old, and this stuff is like alien-speak to me. If I found another Anabo,she’d be writing OMG and I’d be thinking, You’re f’ing kidding me.”

“It was true that he had many qualities I desired in the man of my dreams, but that didn’t erase the set of undesirable qualities within him. Based on the desired qualities, I had made him up as a person that he probably wasn’t in reality. If he was lovable, it didn’t mean that he couldn’t see me cry; if we were alike in many ways, it didn’t mean that he understood me every time; if he showed concern for me, it didn’t mean that he could never hurt me. He was just human, like I was, like everyone else was. I needed to stop putting him on a pedestal and accept him for who he was. I needed to shift my focus from my idea of him and an imagined future life with him to the real person and his willingness to let go of the idea of us being together in the future for a different reality.”

“Feeling lost, I wondered if I was being too sensitive for not being able to cut chords with people who didn’t think twice before leaving me or if they were too inhuman to cut me off like I never mattered to them. I wondered why my relationships always ended so abruptly and suddenly, or if I ignored the red flags for too long.”

“The wish, Geralt! Hurry up! What do you desire? Immortality? Riches? Fame? Power? Might? Privileges? Hurry, we haven’t any time!’ He was silent. ‘Humanity,’ she said suddenly, smiling nastily. ‘I’ve guessed, haven’t I? That’s what you want, that’s what you dream of! Of release, of the freedom to be who you want, not who you have to be. The djinn will fulfil that wish, Geralt. Just say it.”

“Then why are your eyes full of fear, Geralt of Rivia? Your hands are trembling, you are pale. Why? Do you fear the last–fourteenth–name engraved on the obelisk so much? If you wish I shall speak that name.’ ‘You don’t have to. I know what it is. The circle is closing, the snake is sinking its teeth into its own tail. That is how it must be. You and that name. And the flowers. For her and for me. The fourteenth name engraved in the stone, a name that I have spoken in the middle of the night and in the sunlight, during frosts and heat waves and rain. No, I’m not afraid to speak it now.’ ‘Then speak it.’ ‘Yennefer… Yennefer of Vengerberg.”

“Nog altijd komt het me voor als een weeffout in de schepping dat je op een dag niet meer naar de sluis fietst, geen bommetjes meer maakt in een flodderig zwembroekje, niet meer met elkaar worstelt en glad en rap als zeeleeuwen onder water zwemt om meisjes onder te trekken - dat je daar uitgroeit, te groot voor wordt, heb ik altijd beschouwd als een teken dat de ziel bestaat, en dat ze kan bederven.”
