Faith Quote by Becky Chambers
““The stronger belief would survive, the weaker would be erased. This was how harmony was made. He should have killed her. Striker training or no, he’d had his mouth on her throat. He should have killed her. He had killed many out of disagreement. Why had he let her walk away?””
