“When she was surrounded by the crowds watching the reenactments, it was easier to wipe her hands, to shrug in the admission that this is how it is and how it'll always be, but alone she couldn't ignore it. Alone she had to face the reality of what she saw and her own participation in it, because watching was participating, wasn't it? Any movement might disrupt the veil, the one that kept her invisible, watching”

“Her whole life, she'd existed on this side of it-keeping quiet, following rules, doing whatever possible to continue in the safety of being unseen, fearing the slightest transgression would put her on the other side. How many times had she watched as people like her got their spirits ruined from the unfairness of this world? She'd lived in the false promise that because she was invisible, she'd be spared, and while she knew now this was a lie, she stayed crouched to the ground, hidden from view, too afraid of any other choice beyond watching as they worked.”
