"Aku masih berhutang penjelasan, pikirku, tapi terus kenapa? Apa gunanya bagiku? Itu tidak akan membuat saya lebih bahagia. Rasanya seperti menggaruk saat menderita cacar air. Anda pikir itu akan membantu, tetapi gatalnya bergerak, dan kemudian bergerak lagi. Gatal saya tiba-tiba terasa berkilo-kilometer jauhnya, dan saya tidak bisa mencapainya dengan lengan terpanjang di dunia. Menyadari itu membuat saya takut bahwa saya akan merasa gatal selamanya, dan saya tidak menginginkannya."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I was still owed an explanation, I thought, but so what? What good was it going to do me? It wouldn't have made me any happier. It was like scratching when you have chicken pox. You think it's going to help, but the itch moves over, and then moves over again. My itch suddenly felt miles away, and I couldn't have reached it with the longest arms in the world. Realizing that made me scared that I was going to be itchy forever, and I didn't want that.
