Quote #10
They'd lied to me and betrayed me, leaving jagged edges where all my trust had been, and I didn't like or respect or admire them anymore, but I still loved them. (4.34.142)
Khaderbhai's men had all befriended Lin under false pretenses, because they needed him to fulfill their Afghani mission. When he finds out, it rips his heart out. The "jagged edges" reveal the violence of the betrayal. It's not a clean cut, like a surgery, but a spontaneous, accidental injury.
