“Exatamente! A questão de Hachi já está resolvida para Satoru. Por isso, ele consegue ter lugar no coração para o Hachi e para mim. Mas para ti é diferente, não é, Kosuke? Só agora soubeste que o Hachi morreu. Podes ter absorvido a notícia racionalmente, mas ainda não o sentes de verdade. Para superar a morte de um gato, é preciso passar pelo luto. Ouvindo assim, de repente, sobre a morte de um gato do qual não se tinha voltado a ter notícias pode-se pensar que é uma pena, mas é difícil sentir realmente a tristeza. E o problema, Kosuke, é que queres que eu assuma o lugar do Hachi. Sinto muito. Eu, que sou amado por Satoru como Nana, não vou poder servir de substituto.”

“Despite how progressive America claimed to be, there was still a sexist double standard quietly underpinning everything. She and Jeff were proof of it, like in those scientific studies where they treated twin babies the same except for one key variable, then tracked how it affected them. The variable here was that Jeff was a boy and Sam was a girl, and even when they did the exact same thing, people reacted to them differently. If the paparazzi caught Jeff on an expensive shopping spree, he was splurging for a special occasion, while Samantha was spoiled. If pictures surfaced of Jeff visibly drunk and stumbling out of a bar, he was blowing off some much-needed steam. Samantha was a wild party girl. If Jeff talked back to the paparazzi, he was simply being firm, protecting his privacy. Samantha was a ruthless bitch.”

“Leo sighed and went back to her work, but by the time she reached her little apartment on the houseboat moored to Gezira Island she was weary and on edge. She could not get the thought of Alix caught up in a battle out of her head. Sasha’s informant had described how she had been honoured by Tito for her role as a bombasi, hurling grenades into enemy bunkers. It wasn’t hard to imagine how dangerous that would be. She longed to confide in someone, to share her anxiety, but there was no one she could tell without divulging her source. She considered trying to get a phone call through to Sasha in London but dismissed the idea. It was unfair to burden him with the same worry when he was as helpless as she was. Apart from that, she was not sure how he would react. He hated the idea of women anywhere near the front line, as she knew from her own experience. In addition, Alix was fighting on the wrong side as far as he was concerned.”
