«The first time Nakajima stayed over, I dreamed of my dead mom. Maybe it has having him in the room that did it, after having been alone so long. I hadn’t slept next to anyone since my dad and I stayed in my mom’s hospital room. I kept waking up and then, relieved that she hadn’t stopped breathing, going back to sleep…Αnd it occurred to me that I was surrounded by people who could die at any minute, and in some odd way their presence made me feel more at ease here, in the hospital, than I did outside. When things get really bad, you take comfort of the placeness of a place».
