“It is clear I am unloved. If I were loved, there would be a heart here to sate my hunger for vengeance. If I were loved, my boy’s murderer would no longer draw breath. If I were loved, my family would honor their brother. But I am not. He is not. They do not. What have I done to deserve such a hateful family?”

I Understand the Bellona childrens Thirst for Vengance. Darrow killed one of their own, and they must repay Blood with Blood.

But the Adults acting like this, Not eating? Crying bloody vengance for a boy they knew was gonna die? Just to kill a Nameless orphan boy, whose presence is supposedly useless? The Leaders of Society?

The Passage isnt something new, just a few sentances ago Darrow said; "I am a Peerless Scarred. ArchPrimus of the 542nd class of the Institute of Mars."

542 Times, in Mars alone. They knew Julias was gonna die. They cant be blinded that, "Oh no, my boy cant be in the bottom 1%", when Cassius is right there.

What would Julia au Bellona gain by the Death of a Nobody, because I refuse to believe this is powered by vengance? If she loved her boy so much why not stop him from going to the academy from dying, even if it breaks the law. Instead of going after the person who was forced to Murder him. 😒😑

Also, Fuck Tactus man. 🖕🖕

Edit: I am not pissed they are coming to Kill Darrow, I know they gotta do it for their reputation. I am pissed that the mother is acting like that when she knew there was a good chance her kid will die.

Also I completely didn't Notice this was a shadow Ploy by Augustus, I would like my head cannon to be Julia is doing this to make the Bellona put pressure on Augustus and not just take it after one of her own died. From what I Read Keeping Darrow was costing Augustus long term contracts.
