Jacinda has lived in the dark before, and could probably be comfortable there again -- the fervent avenger with his grand plans, with blood spilt in the gutters of a city in the name of protecting that city's children -- but zie isn't sure zie wants that. Not like zie used to. (A zealot must be certain of their own righteousness, after all.)

"Maybe one day I'll stop dreaming of peace, too. For now, though, I think I'll keep striving." This smile is a little wistful, but not without warmth, as zie recites,

"All night dark wings
flopping in my heart.
Each an ambition bird."
