I wish I could say something more constructive, but the best I can say is that not only is this fantastic as a whole, but there are so many beautiful lines. Silver, quiet and on the sidelines though he was, might have been one of my favorite parts. His reaction when Ethan was injured... And when Lyra died... oh god. A few lines in particular, such as this: Because war is death, and war is paid for in blood; but life? Life isn't paid for in tears or in smiles, but in money, cold hard cash. The last line, as well... Look, you've reduced me to incoherency. Everything wove together; the part where Lyra mentioned her father while enlisting tugged at my heartstrings and... god I don't even know.
