Quote #10

Arm felt a deep pity for this man who had so much power and yet was utterly helpless to get back the one thing that had meaning for him. (21.22)

The General is trapped in another way entirely: He knows where his kids are, but can't do anything about it. Arm feels for the guy. His hands are tied because of the power that he has in the society. If his kids were anywhere else aside from Resthaven, he'd have authority over it. Irony, anyone?
