“Killing is not something you do privately, in the space of your own head. It happens here.” She opened her arms, as though to embrace the whole world. “In the relationship between bodies…” “It's the same with love,” she went on. “You're going at the whole thing as though it's a problem with you, inside of you, sealed off from the rest of the world. It's not. Love isn't a part of you or your lover. It's not something you can have, like a pile of gold or a pet pig. Love is this,” She said, gesturing into the emptiness between us. “The space between.” “There's space everywhere,” I growled, “between everyone.” “Don't be obtuse, Pyrre. It's the nature of the space that matters.”

“That house was never put in order or cleaned out. Every instance of cleaning, or dusting, or purging of old things is an act of violence on a person's being and life. Every instance of cleaning is an accounting with one's own biography and the biographies of those close to us. A moment of our death and a reminder that nothing is lasting and everything moves towards oblivion. Dusting requires either sheer courage or the complete absence of a soul.”
