All I'm saying is, you think you've seen stories like this before, so you can guess what's going to happen. Who's important and who isn't, but that's because you're trapped in your POV. You have a classic case of white male protagonism Derek, and a Librarian simply cannot have that. But that's why these books are so important, they're such a gift. They can allow you to see other points of view, and once you start seeing that you'll find that the story doesn't end the way you think, and most important, characters who you expect.

I admit, I took a personal interest in Alice's rehabilitation. Perhaps it biased me. You are correct, we are not jailers. We are also not killers. So, I'll ask you again what would you have us do?
Zelda
It gives you a new perspective. There's shit we know is going to happen that people up there would give anything to stop, but we can see the bigger picture. It's not our job to stop the living from doing what they do, it'sour job to appreciate their full life. We see, but do not interfere, for a lot of reasons.

Derek: Okay, I think I'm starting to get the point of these stories: all women are just one emotional crisis away from a psychotic break.
Jesus, Fen! Why are you lurking in a dark pantry?

They're trying to find someone, and we're just collateral damage. So ask yourselves if this is what they do when they're not even thinking about us, what happens when they decide we're a threat? Are we just going to let people like them tell us we're not important? That we're just some side characters in their f*cked up fascist plot? My mom was a hedge, and she was killed by another hedge. You think that would turn me against you, but it didn't. It just made me realize that it doesn't have to be this way. If we can stop screwing each other over long enough to work together, then it's not The Library's story! It's our story.

When you file people away as sidekicks you don't realize their importance to the story, and this story belongs to a lot more people than you think. Where to shelve a book, it's not a little thing. You're telling the world what to value. Who to value. You get our responsibility here?
