Quote #10
The Crypts also serves as Portland's mental institution and [...] despite the cure we have our share of crazies just like anywhere else. (21.23)
Despite having a mother who is clearly mentally ill, Lena isn't too sensitive to the struggles of people with psychological disorders. Just like she tries to shrug off her mom because she abandons her, she uses the word "crazies" two times in this paragraph to dismiss those lovelorn souls who rot away in the Crypts.
