#1 I like to travel, and I’m good at finding potential puns. I don’t keep track of disappointments, and I like parties but I don’t really like them.

#2 Sasha’s language interest was in language itself, its shape and structure. She was interested in the fact that adding an s at the end of the word cat made it plural. English, on the other hand, poses a challenge for people like Sasha who don’t fit into neat either-or categories like male or female.

#3 Sasha was the brilliant one in their group of friends, and he had a passion for communism, games, the web comic Homestuck, and live-action role-playing. He was also passionate about buses, cartoons, and the color purple.

#4 At Maybeck High School, there were no cliques. Everyone was welcome there, and it was a refuge for kids who had been bullied in middle school. The students were obsessed with games, and they would often gather at a wooden table in the hallway to play cards.
