"But Nezha knows divinity. It’s fathomless. It is not something that can be measured or studied; can’t be described through meticulously constructed logic. The forces that dreamed up this world are the opposite of rational. Divinity isn’t knowable. It’s the Dragon in the grotto. It’s the Dragon inside him. It’s the three madmen who united a nation and tore themselves apart. It’s pain, eternity, and terror. It’s endless, all-consuming fire.
It’s her"
pls someone kill i will not survive the burning god
"She’s going to kill him. She might actually kill him." i don't wike it
"Rin is alive. He’d never feared for a day that she was dead, because creatures like Rin are impossible to kill."
"He wonders sometimes if Rin even cares what she’s fighting for, so long as she gets to fight."
"Duty is not a concept she understands, because she is beholden to no one. She’s tied to nothing. There’s no weight sinking her down. She has her secrets, her painful memories, but she doesn’t drown in them. She ignores them, shoves them aside, sets them on fire.
Nezha wonders what it’s like to be that reckless, that free." you know nothing, yin nezha
"He loves her laugh; that sharp, sudden sound; the cynical laugh that always comes too
quick, like it’s ripped out of her. He loves her quick, confident grin. He loves her resilience, her bravery, even her impulsiveness." oh my gods i will need sm help after the last book
"She’s everything he’s not: unbound, reckless, free. He’s never known anyone like her. She terrifies him, and he loves her so much it hurts."
"He can’t take his eyes off of her. She’s the most magnificent thing he’s ever seen."
"They are, both of them, bound by forces far behind their making: vicious paths that put them in this spot, across each other, never on the same side. Their visions of the future don’t include each other. There is no compromise or neutrality. Only her way."
"It doesn’t matter that he loves her. It doesn’t matter. It’s never mattered."
"Oh, he thinks. But history moves in such cruel circles."
"Because his resolve is only so strong, and if she utters another word then he’ll be lost."
"They can’t say her name in his presence. He’s never made this a rule. But for some reason, none of them dare."
"She’s the only divine thing he’s ever believed in. The only creature in this vast, cruel land who could kill him. And sometimes, in his loveliest dreams, he imagines she does."
