I fuck deeply with Laudna's "what makes you think apathy is better than disdain?" It's a beautiful line to back up Orym's arguments
We don't think too hard about the ants we're stepping on when we have our own problems to worry about. What makes Liliana think that Predathos won't step on Exandria to get to its prey?
Joe and Gordon and Donna and Cameron are meant to be in the same sense as long-separated lovers in a wartime melodrama, high-school sweethearts in a sitcom, the romantic leads in one of Shakespeare’s plays. Each pair is made up of two perfect foils, and perfect complements: Joe chases ideas and Gordon tugs on the reins; Cam focuses on the details, while Donna takes the bird’s-eye view. As in any marriage, these roles create friction—the balance of true equals is never perfect, nor could it be—but they’re rooted in profound understanding of the other person’s strengths. Joe and Gordon, Donna and Cameron: Without each other, the work is unsatisfying, full of would-haves, could-haves and might-have-beens. - Matt Brennan (x)
