what do you call this grammar convention(?)
ANSWERED
it's common in a lot of older literature (i think)
>“Hey,” He brushes his hand along a table. Step, step, step. “I know how you feel.
“You want to get out, I know that. You want to escape and go back to your friends, I know that. You just want to return home. I know that, and I want to help you.”
it's when there's no quotation mark at the end of the dialogue sentence and is supposed to indicate that the character continues talking in the next paragraph/over page breaks (i.e. in this example the same character continues talking over the line break here)
thanks in advance!!!
