“Theirs is a mismatched partnership, yet they're made for one another. Only together can they be their true selves. Outside in the real world, where they have no control over their environment, they are forced to adapt and perform. They are quiet and unassuming and I expect most people forget who they are soon after crossing paths with them. They get away with what they do by hiding in plain sight and by being ordinary. Nobody sees in them what I see because they have no reason to look Only I notice the hollowness of their eyes.”

“Like those before him, he holds on to the hops of a miracle. He doesn't realise that, to them, he is not human. He is an everyday, ten-a-penny object. And it doesn't really matter how carelessly you treat an everyday object, because if it breaks, it is easily replaced. That's what will happen to him. It might take them weeks or months, but eventually, another one just like him will come along. One always does.”

“Aku mempelajari satu hal yang umum diketahui orang-orang seusiaku, bahwa kesedihan adalah perangkap yang paling buruk di dunia ini. Rasanya seperti tinggal di dunia lain yang hanya dihuni diri kita sendiri. Tapi tentu saja kita tidak sendirian, ada orang-orang terdekat yang juga merasakan kedukaan kita. Tapi ini bukan kesedihan mereka. Ini kesedihan kita. Jutaan kali lebih berat bagi kita daripada bagi orang lain. Kadang aku merasa jika mengulurkan tangan, aku bisa benar-benar menyentuh kesedihan itu.”
