Apostrophes mean a SMALL PAUSE

Not a glottal stop — just a tiny break.

To the Rihannsu, a heart that burns too hot can be disciplined. A heart fractured by grief can be carried with dignity. But a heart grown cold—that is the true diminishment.
For as long as the fire endures, so does the people.

Clan leaders, monks of the Qowat Milat, frontier captains, and even the silent watchers of the shadows all clung to emotional core as proof that Rihannsu spirit still lived.
