Within this whole elegant, gorgeous story, as sleek and polished as its protagonist, I really love this:
But she can’t help thinking that to lose a man of his genius, of his capacity to think and reason and connect, would mean an enormous loss for the Empire. Can’t help thinking that the reasons he provides are selfless and about the greater good. Can’t help thinking that she believes in him, even if she doesn’t believe he’s right.
It's like aa pivot, the whole story turning on it, as we try to see id it'll spin 180 degrees or 360.
