"Lampu menyala di dapur. Ibunya duduk di meja dapur, seperti patung. Tangannya tergenggam, dan dia menatap noda kecil di taplak meja. Gregor ingat melihatnya begitu banyak malam setelah ayahnya menghilang. Dia tidak tahu harus berkata apa.

Jadi, dia melangkah ke cahaya dapur dan mengatakan satu hal yang dia tahu paling ingin didengarnya di dunia. "Hei, Bu. Kami di rumah."
