A Curse of Scales and Flame Quotes

“My mother used to wear her hair like that. Used to. A rogue thought, one that sliced through me. It happened to me quite often, ever since she died. Random things would bring back a vivid memory, so vivid I would almost think she was still alive. Expect to hear her voice when I got back home. It would be a scent from a perfume she would always wear, a song from a movie she’d always love to watch. It was shocking how many facets of a person you came to know during their lives and how clear and striking all those facets became after their death. Everywhere I looked was a new reminder of my loss. It created a fucked-up mosaic I could never turn away from.”
