Kindle Notes & Highlights
But that’s where she was being unreasonable. Why should he be concerned about Gemma? He was a Rix, a foreign and different species forced into confinement on a hostile planet. Moreover, as a human, Gemma belonged to the race that held him captive. He had a right to feel detached.
And they seemed to have done multiple surgeries on him
She wished he was hung, to make things right in the world.
What in the- this read so out of character for her, tbh

Screaming
“We’ve always known she was simple, Doctor,” Uncle Drexel interjected and Ravi and Leena nodded vigorously in agreement. “A dancer, what more can you say? She’s a distant relation. We let her live with us out of kindness but if she goes around letting dangerous prisoners escape, she has no place in our home. No place. An alien! God have mercy.”
Ungrateful piece of shit
