complicated relationships with your parents are like. you cut up fruit and bring it to my room without me asking. i can't remember the last time you told me that you were proud of me. you told me i wasn't good enough for you but i'm not even good enough for myself. your hugs feel like coming home. i can't tell you anything that happens in my life. i doubt myself every day because of something you said to me when i was eight. would you like to hear about my day? please don't ask me about my day. i miss you even though you're in the next room. i wish we didn't live together. i've never loved or resented anyone as much as i've loved and resented you. are you okay? are we okay? are we ever going to be okay?

So... I obeyed. I obeyed and obeyed. Until I couldn't anymore.

おいしいお肉

"... How do you like that steak? I made it just the way you like. Don't be scared, I know there's a lot of blood but I assure you, it's just how you love them. Glossy..., tasty..., girl. I wouldn't dare to feed you a male. No, I want to be your first one. The only one. So, my love, how do you like it? The last steak your ever going to taste. "

“We’re [Russian women] also far warmer and kinder than American women of the professional classes, who are quite cold, calculating and utilitarian once you get past the floral prints and front-loaded pleasantries. Don’t let the direct and dismissive tone fool you”

Unlock it. Open the lid. Take out the tablet of lapis lazuli. Read how Gilgamesh suffered all and accomplished all.

The tragic hero is complete. You can call him unhappy (miserable, utterly broken) even before he is dead. For an instant he is something like divine. And then he dies, because there’s nothing left to do. The center of every tragedy is the image of a human being who has already died but keeps talking, someone whose face is a mask.
