"Without flesh, I befriend. Seem friendly enough, freeing him from the grasp of the organization before they realize his power, before Director COWEL finds him. I need to help him. When I escape, he will be freed by my hands. Such a pure soul."
"Your pain is heavy, and the organization's harm is clear. When you visit, there's a mix of strength and sorrow around you. It's like you guard a hidden truth. The fish are drawn to you, swimming purposefully, lighting up shadows. They sense something within you. You talk, I listen. I saw you gently petting a fish, kindness in your eyes. It's different, Cyrus. I'm not afraid of you, unlike others. I can't fully understand your story, but I'll stand by you. Just as Christmas warms the cold, I'll offer comfort in this unusual world."
"I have no idea who--or what-- this guy is. It just.. broke me out of a cage and declared its name Genesis after I told it to fuck off and now they won't stop following me. I guess it isn't.. terrible. They are strong as hell and they're on my side, so.."
"Genesis! That's me! I'm very helpful and I'm strong and E-Ex-Oh keeps calling me a motherfucker but I don't know what that means, but I like him he is very cool and he keeps getting stuck. I'll keep rescuing him!"
Gilded Verse is Nightshade's closest friend who isn't family. He acts as someone for Nightshade to talk to about things that would be embarrassing to discuss with his sister or cousin, whenever something like that is bothering him, but they're mostly just friends who can be together and have fun doing nothing. He loves Verse's writing and thinks it's super dreamy.
Nightshade is a trusted friend. He and Verse talk about boys sometimes, but prefer to hang out in silence, working on their individual crafts. Verse has used Nightshade's star maps as backgrounds for his letters in the past as he finds them quite beautiful and oftentimes romantic in their own way.
