Quote #10
She studied what she and Fatima had painted over the abandoned garage. Already the taggers had hit Liberty with a beard and turned the torch into a screw you salute. (45.2)
The narrator makes a point to tell us what happened to the mural, perhaps to show us that everything fades and changes over time. Plus, it taints the liberty that the girls felt the day they painted it together. Now Fatima is gone and trapped again, and Mik has to get on without her.
