So hard core thinking about when Dulcinea/Cytherea says to Gideon
"Gideon, you’re all right … remember this, and don’t let anyone do it to you ever again. I’m sorry. We take so much. I’m so sorry.”
Fully knowing the path it takes to become a Lyctor, probably fully knowing the feeling from eating Loveday herself.
She was warning Gideon not to let herself be used in the process of Lyctorhood, to remember the feeling and fight it. Knowing what we know from later in the story and later books, it really rips my heart. She didn't want anyone else to go through what she did, do what she did, let alone someone like Gideon.
Joe Biden allowed al-Shifa to be raided because he believed the Israeli propaganda that Hamas uses it for military purposes. In reality there are thousands of displaced and injured civilians to sheltering there
