Summary

In this quote, Valentine, a Shadowhunter, expresses his belief that mundane humans create arbitrary divisions among themselves.

By highlighting these divisions, Valentine suggests that Shadowhunters, who view themselves as defenders of humanity against supernatural threats, transcend such superficial differences and prioritize a more unified and inclusive approach towards the protection of all humans.
