"What? Never heard of that. No such thing."
"Well, why can't we have a password that's based on colors? Or tones? Why can't more desks and doorknobs be made for lefties? Why can't lefties write from right to left so they don't smudge the ink? Same thing. What if locks were made of complex shades that only people with eyes like yours could distinguish?"
I frown, considering. "A lock where all I'd have to do is pick out the right shades of color? I could do it. But it doesn't seem fair to make everyone else use a lock like that."
"Neither is making you use a combination lock. Why not have different locks for different people?"
Yes, what would it be like if the world were built your way? Or at least, not built against you? A whole layer of rules and resistance . . . just gone. (pg. 316)
This felt more like a New Adult book (though, "New Adults" = Young Adults).
