“A girl he loved had decided she did not love him--at least, not enough. How was such a problem usually addressed? Surely not with the clandestine exchange of books and computer surveillance and recourse to the jinn.”
“He loved her for almost everything she was & she decided that was enough to let him stay for a very long time.”
“Had she punished him enough? How could she be sure?”
“She had loved him for such a long time, she thought. How was it that she did now know him at all?”
“Could he love this girl the way she deserved? He could love her with everything that he was, and still it wouldn't be enough. He would fuck up somehow, because that is what he did.”
“So computers are tools of the devil?" thought Newt. He had no problem believing it. Computers had to be the tools of somebody, and all he knew for certain was that it definitely wasn't him.”
