"Robin’s friendships with Ramy, Victoire, and Letty were my favorite part early on. Just want to put this out here: I am eyeing pages 52, 56, 59. IYKYK.

You can feel Robin’s longing to belong but also couldn’t help but force himself to confront the question: Can knowledge ever be neutral in a world built on extraction?" — Oct 13, 2025 11:47AM
