Sometimes I feel like a tree
My roots spread out below
While my twisting branches reach for the sky
My roots soak up the nourishing rain
My unfurled leaves soak up the sun
A gentle breeze rocks me
And I breathe deeply, and sigh
Peaceful in my life as a tree
"The true criterion of the practical, therefore, is not whether the latter can keep intact the wrong or foolish; rather is it whether the scheme has vitality enough to leave the stagnant waters of the old, and build, as well as sustain, new life." -- Emma Goldman

LIGASHA (thinking): Heshla is gone, and we're not even out of the hallway yet. Ynda was only safe because it fit in that vent. Will we make it?
(2)
LIGASHA (thinking): What if I don't make it? Shishakh would have us hide forever. What if we're caught? Would Ian kill us? Maybe we SHOULD hide.
(3)
LIGASHA (thinking): Maybe we should ask Logan to help. I just don't know.
SHISHAKH: Ian's office.
LIGASHA: Maybe we can find something in there.
