    “Jesper knocked his head against the hull and cast his eyes heavenward. 鈥淔ine. But if Pekka Rollins kills us all, I鈥檓 going to get Wylan鈥檚 ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.鈥�
    Brekker鈥檚 lips quirked. 鈥淚鈥檒l just hire Matthias鈥� ghost to kick your ghost鈥檚 ass.鈥�
    鈥淢y ghost won鈥檛 associate with your ghost,鈥� Matthias said primly, and then wondered if the sea air was rotting his brain.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “Have any of you wondered what I did with all the cash Pekka Rollins gave us?"
    "Guns?" asked Jesper.
    "Ships?" queried Inej.
    "Bombs?" suggested Wylan.
    "Political bribes?" offered Nina. They all looked at Matthias. "This is where you tell us how awful we are," she whispered.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “Where do you think the money went?鈥� he repeated.
    鈥淕uns?鈥� asked Jesper.
    鈥淪hips?鈥� queried Inej.
    鈥淏ombs?鈥� suggested Wylan.
    鈥淧olitical bribes?鈥� offered Nina. They all looked at Matthias. 鈥淭his is where you tell us how awful we are,鈥� she whispered.
    He shrugged. 鈥淭hey all seem like practical choices.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “Until this moment, Wylan hadn't quite understood how much they meant to him. His father would have sneered at these thugs and thieves, a disgraced soldier, a gambler who couldn't keep out of the red. But they were his first friends, his only friends, and Wylan knew that even if he'd had his pick of a thousand companions, these would have been the people he chose.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    “You鈥檙e our chemist, Wylan,鈥� said Nina hopefully. 鈥淲hat do you think?鈥�
    Wylan shrugged. 鈥淢aybe. Not all poisons have an antidote.鈥�
    Jesper snorted. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 why we call him Wylan Van Sunshine.”

    “Anything else?鈥� asked Matthias.
    鈥淚 like singing,鈥� said Alys.
    Wylan shook his head frantically, mouthing, No, no, no.
    鈥淪hall I sing?鈥� Alys asked hopefully. 鈥淏ajan says that I鈥檓 good enough to be on the stage.鈥�
    鈥淢aybe we save that for later鈥斺€� suggested Jesper.
    Alys鈥� lower lip began to wobble like a plate about to break.
    鈥淪ing,鈥� Matthias blurted, 鈥渂y all means, sing.鈥�
    And then the real nightmare began.
    It wasn鈥檛 that Alys was so bad, she just never stopped. She sang between bites of food. She sang while she was walking through the graves. She sang from behind a bush when she needed to relieve herself. When she finally dozed off, she hummed in her sleep.
    鈥淢aybe this was Van Eck鈥檚 plan all along,鈥� Kaz said glumly when they鈥檇 assembled outside the tomb again.
    鈥淭o drive us mad?鈥� said Nina. 鈥淚t鈥檚 working.鈥�
    Jesper shut his eyes and groaned. 鈥淒iabolical.”

    “You don't like stars?' I ask.
    'No,' he says quietly, lacking his smirk for once, and staring at the floor. 'A lot of those stars actually died millions of years ago. It's just they're so far away, the light they created before they died hasn't finished reaching us yet.' He waves at the galaxy beyond the glass. 'You're looking at a sky full of ghosts.”

    “Almost every particle in the universe was once part of a star,鈥� she says softly. 鈥淓very atom in your body. The metal in your chair, the oxygen in your lungs, the carbon in your bones. All those atoms were forged in a cosmic furnace over a million kilometers wide, billions of light-years from here. The confluence of events that led to this moment is so remote as to be almost impossible.鈥� She puts her hand on my shoulder. Her touch is awkward, as if she doesn鈥檛 quite know how to do it. But she squeezes gently. 鈥淥ur very existence is a miracle.”

    “I can see it in his eyes. All those years of military training, all those years of yessir, no sir, may I have another, sir. You don鈥檛 get to be top Alpha in the academy by rocking the boat. You don鈥檛 get to be the Goldenboy by not following orders.”
