The fullness in your head and Raleigh's voice, Raleigh's presence, dirtying everything like smudging fingerprints on clean glasses, and part of you knows that you will never be able to strip those clean again. (Part of you wonders if you would ever want to.)
But now you are heavy; now you are a soldier; now you can throw your weight against the world and hear the echoes of a landing blow.
(But you were reconstructed, like your city; you rose again; you are not a thing to be permanently defeated, and isn't that strength? And couldn't that be strength?)
