Summary
The guard's body falls in a heap, Scar looking rather pleased with himself, and for just a moment, Grian is impressed by his dexterity. But then the man smiles at him with an almost child-like wonder, just like he used to, and Grian's mind floods with a familiar kind of grief and betrayal.
It doesn't matter that Scar just saved his life. None of this matters.
Grian flicks off the safety and points the pistol at Scar's head.

Summary
He doesn’t think he’s an irredeemable villain. He thinks he’s a charismatic one, a conniving one, but not someone who acts out of a complete self-interest. He hasn’t got a heart of complete stone; it buckles under love’s pressure all the same, even if he may like to pretend otherwise.
He remembers echoes of guilt, rising up from his lungs as he’d breathed the night air in; he remembers the twinge of pain that absence had brought, whenever he’d looked to his side and seen his second half replaced by someone so much lesser. And he remembers his soul-crushing joy when he’d seen Grian atop that hill, bathed in the rising sun's light, bloody vengeance reserved for him alone bright, bright in his eyes.
Or: Life moves on and Scar with it, while everyone else seems to lag behind. He does not stop to wonder whether he is just as lost as they are.

Summary
They say the land embodied the soul of its people. The people of the Sandlands were coarse and rough and irritating and they got everywhere. Whatever that meant.
The Kingdom of Dogwarts made claim after claim that their greatest enemy was full of desert hippies who didn’t know the meaning of warfare. Their kingdom was lush and flourished, the result of its unity under the rule of its King. In truth, you were their ally or their enemy. No one wanted to be their enemy, not when their army wielded enchantments. Renchanting rose to power because it held a power so few knew.
Grian had never been one for politics, but with how relentlessly Dogwarts spread their reach, no one would be able to remain neutral for long.
In the end, it didn’t matter. Grian wasn’t paid to question propaganda.
