Wiódł cudowne, bohaterskie życie i miał wielu przyjaciół. Na jego miejscu, chyba nie byłbym zadowolony z powrotu do rzeczywistości.

I want to lose. I want to get beaten up. I want to hold on until I'm thrown off and everything ends.
And you know what?
Until that happens, I want to hope again. And I want it to hurt. Because that means it meant something.
It means I am something, at least... pretty amazing to be something, at least...-- Mae Borowski ("Night in the Woods", Infinite Fall)
