""Aku menyukai perasaan cinta," akui [Jonas]. Dia melirik dengan gugup ke speaker di dinding, meyakinkan dirinya sendiri bahwa tidak ada yang mendengarkan. "Aku berharap kita masih memilikinya," bisiknya. "Tentu saja," dia menambahkan dengan cepat, "Aku mengerti bahwa itu tidak akan bekerja dengan baik. Dan bahwa jauh lebih baik untuk ditata seperti kita sekarang. Aku dapat melihat bahwa itu adalah cara yang berbahaya untuk hidup." [...] "Tetap saja," katanya perlahan, hampir pada dirinya sendiri, "Aku suka cahaya yang mereka buat. Dan kehangatannya.""

"I liked the feeling of love," [Jonas] confessed. He glanced nervously at the speaker on the wall, reassuring himself that no one was listening. "I wish we still had that," he whispered. "Of course," he added quickly, "I do understand that it wouldn't work very well. And that it's much better to be organized the way we are now. I can see that it was a dangerous way to live." [...] "Still," he said slowly, almost to himself, "I did like the light they made. And the warmth."
