'boundaries' as the dignity of a human being and their personhood, autonomy and inherent right to live being eroded and destroyed. lila thrown out of a window as a child for demanding to go to school. pasquale's father being thrown against a wall for demanding justice after mafiosi stole his shop. the neighbourhood itself as the thing that shaves down your dignity. poverty and capitalism and fascism and misogyny all fused together to create a different beast, and that beast eats away at your boundaries slowly slowly slowly. pasquale's mama in the bathroom after a lifetime of sorrow and horror. the children are outside singing. do you remember? she painted her nails red. 'dissolving boundaries' as the body's response to abuse in its every form, individual and societal. and so the person within the body becomes undone. loosens. nothing firm remains. like oil like water. lila cerullo.

House Hightower of Oldtown

"The Hightowers are an ancient family, very rich and very proud." (A Clash of Kings)

Their words are We Light the Way.

The Lords of Oldtown wield the ancestral valyrian steel sword Vigilance and assume several honorific titles like Defender of the Citadel, Voice of Oldtown & Beacon of the South.

"The arms of House Hightower show a stepped white tower crowned with fire on a smoke-grey field."

When they go to war, the great beacon atop the High Tower glows a baleful green.
