You're nicer than I am. They voted for Trump by 10 points, which sure is a statement of belonging. But maybe not to New York City.
ETA: You're probably right. But I don't think Jemisin is in a very forgiving mood, and I don't want to suggest that she's morally obligated to be, either.
ETA2: This is the whole point of the trilogy though, right? Like, what happens to Staten Island at the end is A Problem. So the question of whether she can come back, or will, or wants to, and whether the others can accept her despite what she's done, is the whole shebang. I'm not being facetious when I say that I bet the ending of the third book depends greatly on the outcome of the election in November.
