“Alina podia escutar a voz da delegada se elevando, o dedo apontando sua cara enquanto outra mão indicava o homem na cadeira de rodas: sua geração nunca passou por guerras, nunca sobreviveu à violência da ditadura militar, nunca nem sentiu a loucura da inflação, você não sabe o que é sofrimento. E Alina respondia, com os dentes entrecerrados, é pedir demais ter uma vida um pouco melhor?, não bater ponto num trabalho que detesto?, não passar metade do meu tempo desperta num ambiente que abomino?, sentir meu cérebro definhando num trabalho que podia ser realizado por animais domesticados? é tão absurdo assim esperar algo mais da vida?, por acaso o seu Deus, com letra maiúscula, o seu único Deus, o verdadeiro Deus vai receber você no ParaÃso e calcular, ah, você passou setenta mil horas trabalhando em algo que detesta, por causa disso poderá passar setenta mil horas se divertindo no ParaÃso, fazendo o que você quiser, pode virar artista, estudar coisas estranhas, as setenta mil horas são suas, é isso que o seu Deus vai fazer?, e se você morrer e ele não estiver lá e a eternidade for apenas uma repetição da vida, viver tudo de novo, ou seja, a extensão ad infinitum desse meu inferno num cubÃculo? vou perguntar só mais uma vez: é pedir demais que a vida seja só um pouco melhor do que ela é?”

“Alis coughed from the shadows of the house, and I remembered to start walking, to look toward the dais-
At Tamlin.
The breath knocked from me, and it was an effort to keep going down the stairs, to keep going my knees from buckling. He was resplendent in a tunic of green and gold, a crown of burnished laurel leaves gleaming on his head. He'd loosened the grip on his glamour, letting that immortal light and beauty shine through- for me.
My vision narrowed on him, on my High Lord, his wide eyes glistening as I stepped onto the soft grass, white rose petals scattered down it-
And Red ones.
Like drops of blood amongst the white, red petals had been sprayed across the path ahead.
I forced my gaze up, to Tamlin, his shoulders back, head high.
So unaware of the true extent of how broken and dark I was inside. How unfit I was to be clothed in white when my hands were so filthy.
Everyone else was thinking it. They had to be.
Every step was too fast, propelling me toward the dais and Tamlin. And toward Ianthe, clothed in dark blue robes tonight, beaming beneath the hood and silver crown.
As if I were good- as if I hadn't murdered two of their kind.
I was a murderer and a liar.
A cluster of red petals loomed ahead- just like the Fae youth's blood had pooled at my feet.
Ten steps from the dais, at the edge of that splatter of red, I slowed.
Then stopped.
Everyone was watching, exactly as they had when I'd nearly died, spectators to my torment.
Tamlin extended a broad hand, brows narrowing slightly. My heart beat so fast, too fast.
I was going to vomit.
Right over those rose petals, right over the grass and ribbons trailing into the ailse from the chairs flanking it.
And between my skin and bones, something thrummed and pounded, rising and pushing, lashing through my blood-
So many eyes, too many eyes, pressed on me, witness to every crime I'd committed, every humiliation-
I don't know why I'd even bothered to wear gloves, why I'd let Ianthe convince me.
The fading sun was too hot, the garden too hedged in. As inescapable as the vow I was about to make, binding me to him forever, shackling him to my broken and weary soul. The thing inside me was roiling now, my body shaking with the building force of it as it hunted for a way out-
Forever- I would never get better, never get free of myself, of the dungeon where I'd spent three months-
'Feyre,' Tamlin said, his hand steady, as he continued to reach for mine. The sun sank past the lip of the western garden wall; shadows pooled, chilling the air.
If I turned away, they'd start talking, but I couldn't make the last few steps, couldn't, couldn't, couldn't-
I was going to fall apart, right there, right then- and they'd see precisely how ruined I was.
Help me, help me, help me, I begged someone, anyone. Begged Lucien, standing in the front row, his metal eye fixed on me. Begged Ianthe, face serene and patient and lovely within that hood. Save me- please, save me. Get me out. End this.
Tamlin took a step toward me- concern shading those eyes.
I retreated a step. No.
Tamlin's mouth tightened. The crowd murmured. Silk streamers laden with globes of gold faelight twinkled into life above and around us.
Ianthe said smoothly. 'Come, Bride and be joined with your true love. Come, Bride, and let good triumph at last.'
Good. I was not good. I was nothing, and my soul, my eternal soul was damned-
I tried to get my traitorous lungs to draw air so I could voice a word. No- no.
But I didn't have to say it.
Thunder crackled behind me, as if two boulders have been hurled against each other.
People screamed, falling back, a few vanishing outright as darkness erupted.
I whirled, and through the night drifting away like smoke on a wind, I found Rhysand straightening the lapels of his black jacket.
'Hello, Feyre darkling,' he purred.”
