“But the best villains are the ones you secretly like, and my nana always said Legend was the villain in Caraval.”
“Legend has chosen you to play a game that may change your destiny.
In honor of Empress Elantine’s 75th birthday,

“I’ve never wanted to be someone else until that moment I saw him kiss you on the dance floor.”
