"Then let us not seek out forgiveness, but forgetfulness," he said. "Bury me next to you in that unmarked grave, Joy. We knew that was the only hope we ever had—that we would live to see it through ... and pray for our own cessation. Oh, we'll still hate each other my dear, we have hatted eachother too long and too passionately to stop ... but my bones will rest easy next to your bones."

* After Mercymorn kills the emperor, Augustine talks her down from immediately committing suicide. Despite their intense animosity, it's made abundantly clear that they're the only ones in the universe who truly understand one another.
-->"You cannot make me do this"\\
"You have a job, Joy," he said. "If you kill yourself now, you'll leave everything remarkably untidy, and that's not like you, is it?"\\
She said numbly, "That was not the agreement."\\
"Bad luck," said Augustine. "It's done—as you chose to stain your hands so mine could be clean, you're going to have to put up with the fact that you picked the wrong man to enter into a suicide pact with. I hate 'em. Cristabel might have undone all my good work with Alfred, but here comes the reckoning. We're going to go round up the ships—everyone who's left—sue for peace as best we can—get the Edenites on side. And then we'll find a place to fulfill the old promise ... Somewhere out there exists a home not paid for with blood; it won't be for us, but it ''will'' be for those who have been spared. Babies always get born. Houses always get built. And flowers will die on necromancy's grave."\\
Her throat was working. "Augustine—"\\
The Lyctor took her silently in his arms: they held each other like children who'd had a nightmare and had woken in a fright. Just as silently, they detached.\\
She said in a low voice, "He was right. There can be no forgiveness."\\
"Then let us not seek out forgiveness, but forgetfulness," he said. "Bury me next to you in that unmarked grave, Joy.

* Gideon was able to figure out that the avulsion trial requires the necromancer to draw on their cavalier's life energy, causing the cavalier an enormous amount of pain and risking both of their lives. How'd she figure it out? Because it's something Palamedes would never do, since "he's a perfect moron over Camilla the Sixth."
