Summary
After all, after all. He is going to be great, that son of the buffalo woman, that one-day king of kings. Sogolon Djata. Sundiata. One day he will tower above them all, chin high and dignity-divinity apparent, spear in hand and Balla Fassèkè at his back, observing and interpreting and recording and adoring in turn, but for now-
For now.

Summary
Her ears are ringing, perfect little fluting tones that flit and trill around her head as she continues her cyclical, helpless, baby-duck stumbling, limbs clumsy and haphazard in contrast to the straight and easy way the other girl is holding herself. She’s beautiful, even in her boredom; tossing her hair, fluffing her hair, tugging lightly at the long, straight strands. Madotsuki wants to be closer. Wants it with a tireless, empty longing that feels like her insides are getting pulled up her throat.

Summary
"So, how would you do it?"
Kris looks at Noelle. They've been chewing on the last of the popcorn, the kernels that get stuck at the bottom of the bag and only half pop.
"You know," Noelle says, and gestures at the screen like they haven't spent the last few minutes in silence, watching a tough-yet-caring police officer string together the world's most obvious clues. "If you were a slasher movie villain, how would you kill me?"
Kris and Noelle have a spirited discussion about horror movies.

Summary
Now it felt far too late to back down. All of this hard work – work she didn’t even want to do, work she felt like she had to do – was about to be undone by her own inability to let her pride go. Why? Because today was the day that Still I Rise would formally race to see if she qualified for Tracen Academy.
Today was the day she’d show that she was nothing more than a fluke. Nothing more than a misstep in her parents’ legacies.
Being the daughter of two legendary racers isn’t easy. Stubborn, proud, and pressured by the legacy of Daiwa Scarlet and Vodka, Still I Rise steps uncertainly towards a future she doesn’t actually want.

Summary
Worrying about being a good person was good. He was a ninja. He was a hero. He had to be a good person, that was part of the job description. This was a justified worry. This was absolutely a justified worry.
