One thing thing that always bothered me was how Gregor did not seem to realize that I know our world is built upon bloodshed. He would sometimes give me looks after fights, as if he was disturbed by all that was happening, and that I seemed at peace with it. I am at peace with it, but only because that is how it is here. Bloodshed is unavoidable most of the time--even though we are working slowly towards a better future--maybe one more like our past, but without any of the betrayal this time around. The apple trees will never grow again, but maybe we can create a better lasting relationship with the gnawers. We must. This world is tired of the fighting and the blood that weeps from the ground. I am tired of sending bodies into the Waterway. It must end.
