"It’s the scar tissue surrounding an old wound. Scar tissue is never subsumed into the body, it just sinks below the surface. It is only upon your death, when your flesh withers, that it reemerges. Take the Manhattan Bridge as an example, a festering mile of human refuse. The city could clear it with the force of righteous indignation. Forge it anew, transform it into farmland to feed the homeless, or new hospitals funded by the Ones. But no, the city is too challenged for such thinking, too blinkered to solve the problems that have brought us to this precipice. The Bridge is an answer to such shortsightedness, a means to show there are other solutions."
