We have to be better. We can't do this anymore. The last time they'd had that conversation, a week before Beatriz died, Esther had said, 'I don't feel that way about you anymore.' A desperate attempt to rescue them both. Saying it had felt like dying. Although, not as much like dying as the fate she feared would come for them. It was the worst lie she'd ever told. And it hadn't even been enough to save Beatriz.

When there's people around that we don't trust, we let them think we're the kinds of people who are allowed to exist.

Keep fighting. It will be hard, and it will be awful, and it will be worth it. Don’t give up, even when it feels like dying. Don’t give up.
