Restarted left hand of darkness last night and I forgot how much estraven loves genly and how much genly just does not get it

“It is a terrible thing, this kindness that human beings do not lose. Terrible, because when we are finally naked in the dark and cold, it is all we have. We who are so rich, so full of strength, we end up with that small change. We have nothing else to give.”

Genly Ai, Ursula K. Le Guin, "The Left Hand of Darkness"
