“When I first arrived here, once I got over the shock, I thought I had entered a sort of purgatory. A second chance, you know. You can't imagine what it was like to be a man of-of my persuasion, in my time. Now it seems I've got another goal of it in an era that suits me better. But, you know, you can make yourself feel lonely and miserable and out of joint just by falling in love with someone who can't or won't love you back. Perhaps they'll fix that in another 200 years. Perhaps they'll come to get us and that's how we'll know we've reached heaven.”
