And then, I lifted my hands to my face, and felt bandages.
For me, this is one of the more devastating moments in this book-- the ceremony to receive the daan was so beautiful and such an expression of Amani's family's love and care for her, as well as her family's history and her culture. And then just like that, they're erased. It's the cruelty of the Vath in miniature-- the history of a people obliterated so easily by Vathek domination, on this planet as well as on Amani's face.
