"Itâ€™s been me all along,â€ said September slowly. â€œMe who gave up my shadow, me who went down into Fairyland-Below and Fairyland-Lower-Than-That to wake up the Prince. Me who shot the poor Minotaur. You oughtnâ€™t just hand the whole business over the moment a Prince comes on the scene. Iâ€™ve got to see it through, donâ€™t you see? The Hollow Queen is hollow because sheâ€™s missing the part of her thatâ€™s me. Weâ€™ve got to come together again. And he canâ€™t do a thing about that."
