Summary
“Ramy,” he started, but paused, not knowing exactly what he wanted to ask. Ramy didn’t look worried, though, just prompting. “Why am I not scared? Why doesn’t this make me nervous?”
“Beats me, Birdie. But I don’t think I could be scared of you.”

Summary
The Chinese character ài (爱) carries the English meaning of “to love or to be fond of.” It’s not much different from its English counterpart: it’s what a father tells to his son, his wife. Or so Robin has been told.
But there was one thing that confused little Robin. The Chinese character for friend (友) was always present in ài. No matter what era of documents he scoured through, there wasn’t a single instance where ài lost its friend.
So perhaps he never learned the distinction between “friend” and “love.” Perhaps he had intertwined the two concepts in his mind so deeply it had, unbeknownst to him, changed the way he viewed his world. So much so that when he was presented with a friend, he thought it was love.
Or perhaps his feelings for that brown eyed boy were genuine. Perhaps the only reason he thought it was a friendship was because he was merely confused by the intricacies of language. It wouldn’t be the first time it had occurred.
He would die without an answer, left only with a feeling so intense it would follow him past his final breath.

How many different ways are there to answer a yes-or-no question? What does the word "yes" truly mean in English? In Latin? In Greek? Never before has Robin wondered, but then again, never before has he needed to know.

Summary
Robin felt a fleeting anxiety when Ramy disappeared through the door into his room – he had grown used to Ramy’s company during all those nights on the voyage, and he was scared of being on his own for the first time in weeks, with no other voice to soften the dark.

Summary
The possibility of consequences for his catastrophic behaviour force Robin to ponder what and who he would protect and hold onto at all costs. Ramy's name is at the top of the list. He just hasn't quite figured out to what extent (yet).

Summary
Letitia picked up the scissors as soon as she saw them, admiring their gleam of newness. With her free hand, she began to remove pins from her bun. It began to unravel into golden flatness down her back. There was deceptively quite a lot of it.
Victoire wasn’t sure if she should begin to release her own hair around Letitia. It seemed inappropriate. But, maybe it was just around men and employers that she shouldn’t wear her hair loose, and Letitia was her peer. Well, on paper. Victoire wasn’t so stupid that she’d treat this white girl like her equal only five minutes after meeting.
Still, slowly, Victoire removed her own pins.

Summary
“Oh, Birdie.” Ramy wrapped a hand around his arm, the touch so gentle yet enough to make him shudder, rubbing his skin with his thumb. “There was nothing you could’ve done. You don’t have anything to apologize for.” He murmured. “Nothing at all.”
That’s not true, Robin wanted to argue. But there was something in Ramy’s gaze, something so tender that made him pause. A reprieve, like being pulled back for air before he could drown underwater.
or: after the fall of Babel, two lovers reunite.

Summary
During his night in the Old Library, Robin witnesses a quiet a moment.
"You're so thin," Anthony whispers into the space between them, so quiet Robin wouldn't hear if it wasn't for the fact that the library is even quieter. "You do worry me sometimes."
Griffin's head lowers, his forehead brushing against Anthony's. "You shouldn't." And then, with some of his usual dryness, "I'm fine."
Anthony shakes his head. "No," he says, somewhat strangled. "You're not."Bookmarked by litarchive

When Ramy finally kissed Robin it wasn’t sunset on the Thames. It wasn’t overlooking a starry evening from the eight floor of the tower. It was on a late night in Hillary term with the bitter winter cold seeping into Ramy’s small and stale room.
