“... to fall in love with the world, I think, means agreeing to live fully in the in-between— to feel its full weight, the beauty and the grief arriving together, neither one cancelling the other out. It means looking up at the night sky until your brain goes quiet in that specific way it does when you remember how enormous everything is, and then coming back down to sit with your friends and feel the warmth of being known... The in-between has taught me that the ache and the wonder are not opposites. They arrive together, and learning to hold both without flinching is, I think, what these five years have all been about.” – Aeris Wren’ 26, Head Prefect
