- “After you left, I died. Not literally, but I may as well have. Everyone in town knew us as Ursa and Ikem. Sometimes, folks would come up to me and tell me things would be okay, but deep down they knew they were lying. Other times, they wouldn't say anything. They would just stare, like I'd been disfigured. Maybe I had. It was too painful to stay here, yet it was the only home I'd ever known. So I did what people do when they want to forget their own misery. I went down to Forgetful Valley.”
- ―Noren to his wife
