“I don't like work like that. I am the silent partner. I work through events, I live on the sidelines, I dabble in causes and effects, I watch how the misbegotten creatures of this world live their lives.”
“...I dabble in causes and effects.”
“I don't want to achieve immortality through my work; I want to achieve immortality through not dying. I don't want to live on in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live on in my apartment.”
“That worked great! Thank you so much. What next?""I don't know. I didn't expect you to live through it.""Oh.”
“I have no way of knowing whether the events that I am about to narrate are effects or causes.”
“I don't know how to live in the world as a Shadowhunter without Will. I don't think i even want to. I am still a parabatai, but my other half is gone.”
