    • The title quote is grim — it comes from a longform article about an abusive orphanage, which used "gone home for good" to explain the disappearance of children to other 'students'. It's a reference to Ashpaw's disappearance, her apparent death, and the fact that she did eventually make it home.
    • The description is a quote from Ocean Vuong's semi-autobiographic poetry/prose collection On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous
