“Just because someone hurt you when you were a child, that doesn’t make it right for you to hurt anyone else.”

“‘People who’ve been hurt often think they have some sort of right to go around hurting other people,’ said Sumi. ‘They think trauma’s a toy to keep handing down forever. But the fact that someone hurt you and tied you up in knots doesn’t give you the right to do it to anybody else. I’m a formerly dead girl made of gingerbread and hope, and even I can see that.’”
