[ Unfeeling is not a word she would have used to describe Anaxagoras. She nods, letting the words sink in, as she contemplates them

[ There is no easy place to "begin", when it comes to these matters, so Anaxagoras does not feel it is too strange, despite the unusual point.
When she brings up what she does, he remembers the gathering of folks amidst the climax of that sudden interference. ]

None of these things are easy, though making the effort will be worth it. Don't you agree?

[She thinks about her wish, the burning desire to make it true. But she can't look at anyone anymore and think it would be enough to sacrifice them]
