Frederick said " your problem is that you still believe you own your life" and then he decided he wasn't going to commit the same calamity as the others. The bravery. The irony
That scene with Zeno and the kids talking about their cloud cuckoo lands just BROKE ME!!!! I cannot imagine the terror of having someone threatening them with a gun nearby, having to keep their voices down and not make any sound, Zeno trying to calm them and running away with the bombs, and yes, I'm not okay :(
Also when Konstance finds out about the reality of the Argos program, the Easter eggs left by Seymour with his owls, and how much Konstance yearned to see Earth again and feel things and be there, I'm just :(
Also Anna and Omeir's story, how they are just perfect together, and their family <3333333 Anna telling the cloud cuckoo land story for their kids, man, I'm ugly crying right now :(
That ending with all the kids now grown up and with their family, and Seymour apologizing to them and taking them back to the library, and to everything they knew before, and Konstance getting out of the Argos and starting a new life, and Anna and Omeir and their family *sobs*
mAN, THIS BOOK JUST FUCKING BROKE ME
Do yourselves a favor and go read cloud cuckoo land, by Anthony Doerr, please *sobs harder*
