Carefully moderating how much of this I read in one sitting but I just had an epiphany about what Kostya probably is and probably has been all this time & now I doubt I'll be able to do anything until I've finished this and then also SCHOOL OF SHARDS. personhood is not the only concept that needs a broader definition when it comes to the Kozhennikovs

14 and a half years and/or 8 months later and there's something deeply categorically wrong with everyone and everything in Sasha's reality, but her up-until-now anonymous mother has just been named, to Lisa Pavlenko of all people. and also she has an iPad now
