Syllables is correct, and that’s a really good point. Thank you.
Even so, these two simple words made Mo Yang's eyes turn red, and his chest shook violently a few times.

Depends on who takes power. If they have no skin in the game and can make it seem like they’ve pulled strings to arrange it, then when no one can find solid ties to any group, it might actually prop them up. Can’t cut them off from support you can’t identify, so you never know how weak they are. Sure, it’s a gamble, but if nobody is cutting checks for the work and the new boss looks the other way, who would bother stepping up? Aside from the ones who lost face, of course.
It wasn't like they could simply kill all of the Harringtons. They needed to come up with a way to get them to call off the hit. How to do that…she had no idea.

More true than you think, Casey.
She would be even sorrier if she heard about Candy but he was NOT about to go into that. Vera could go ahead and keep thinking he only had one sibling. For all intents and purposes, he did.

Even knowing that it was coming, I’m still tearing up.
That was when it came. The devastating diagnosis of early onset dementia. She wasn't nearly old enough for this!

He’s two twins. Maybe three. It’s complicated.
"You're a twin?" Vera asked in disbelief.

He didn't know what to make of it. Niceness was a foreign concept. Candy was almost never nice. He didn't come out much either so he spent even less time with people than Casey did and he seemed to be completely isolated, aside from Vera.

She really couldn’t. Once she got it through her skull, she was a lot nicer.
She was a special case. She had loved them so she could do things other people couldn't.

That’s a fight you’d lose anyway.
Kane really didn't understand their relationship at all and wasn't sure whether or not he should intervene. His job was to protect Casey but he wasn't sure there was any protection necessary here.

Poor guy almost invented Temu.

That’s why this story was stuck in my head! The damaged book from the library! I was reading it to my wife when we found the torn page. Mystery solved.
She pointed to the book and he took the bookmark out and began reading aloud from the top of the page. She would have laughed if it wouldn't have hurt because she had never heard anyone read aloud in such a flat voice before. It was doubly funny because it was a pretty dramatic scene.
