As a general rule, ghosts are better left alone. Why try to raise them from the dead?” “Because they’re still there.” Zaleekhah lowers her eyes and pushes away her plate. “Things don’t disappear just because we wish them to. Even if we cover them with concrete and build over them and pretend they never existed, they’re still part of us, all those ghosts that we thought we’d buried deep inside, and, if we don’t face up to them, they’ll continue to haunt us.”
