[The rage never goes away. Or maybe that's just him? Kaz has Pekka behind bars now, but it still doesn't feel like enough. It doesn't feel finished. Perhaps it's because he knows Pekka might still be a threat down the road, and that it's his pride and wanting the man to suffer that he's willing to take that risk. Perhaps it's because Kaz simply doesn't know who he might be to let some of that anger go. He's simply displaced his sentiments onto other targets, raging at a larger society now that put Pekka into a position to take advantage of children to begin with.
Kaz embraces the rage, he nurtures the grudges. It's the quiet he struggles against. Inej is a hero wanting to ensure others didn't suffer as she did, she wants to protect innocents and dismantle a system that lets criminals win.
Kaz Brekker just wants a fight. Or at least, that's how he sees himself. A thief, a killer. A boy turned man who can't stay down out of spite.]
I know.
And you will. Just remember that they'll all make more than one mistake. It's human nature. Everyone has a tell they can't hide unless they're dead. You'll expose them all, if you don't get sloppy and misread what their weakness is.
It's not always going to feel like enough, but that's not the point, is it?
