And oh, Attolia. <3 I love the description of how she changes -- how she's built safety and respect, but how notably absent is anyone who actually cares.
And how that's something that changes the meaning of the first line, as well -- She is better than she used to be., and how centered on the self.
she will chip away at her conscience, little by little, until the day dawns that she rises with a heart made stone.
;_;, but my shippy heart loves how much this mirrors what Gen says about what being queen does to her.
