“I didn’t choose any of this. Not my family, not my house, not my parents, not my school. This town is overflowing with things I never wanted. But everyone goes around with blank expressions on their faces, like they’re wearing matching masks or something. It freaks me out. People here confuse boredom and stagnation with peace and safety.” — Mieko Kawakami
