You will come of age with our young nation
We’ll bleed and fight for you, we’ll make it right for you
If we lay a strong enough foundation
We’ll pass it on to you, we’ll give the world to you
And you’ll blow us all away

A breathless, trembling laugh. These games have saved Pel's sanity, she is certain. How other mothers get through without her support team she does not know. Every time she has that feeling that this is impossible, they bring her back.

"Oh, you are all destined for crushing failure. I'm the best at bluffing."

She peels away from Merrick enough to be ready for cards, brushing stray strands of hair out of the way.
