"Saya kembali ke mobil saya, menyalakan mesin, lalu pergi. Baru setelah saya menepi ke jalan raya itu semuanya benar-benar menenggelamkannya, betapa bersahabatnya persahabatan kami. Bagaimanapun, kami pernah beristirahat, tetapi bukan hubungan kami yang jeda: melainkan kami. Sekarang kami berdua bergerak lagi, bergerak maju. Jadi bagaimana jika ada pertanyaan yang belum terjawab. Hidup terus berjalan. Kami tahu itu lebih baik daripada siapa pun."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

I got back in my car, starting the engine, then drove off. It wasn't until I pulled onto the highway that it all really sunk it, how temporary our friendship had been. We'd been on our breaks, after all, but it wasn't our relationships that were on pause: it was us. Now we were both in motion again, moving ahead. So what if there were questions left unanswered. Life went on. We knew that better than anyone.
