“There’s so much more to communication than words. To be in someone’s physical space, really be there with them, was something no vidfeed could capture. It was easier to bullshit when all you can hear is someone’s voice, all you can see is their smiling face. The real grift is in the way you occupy that space. Be there with the mark.”

“Would you like me to speak proper English?” Cy asked, dropping his accent with great effort. I laughed. “Don’t strain yourself, cuz.”
Makana Yamamoto, Hammajang Luck

“What's a Texas?”
