Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your ‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the ‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right, then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money, first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it, because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era, this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals.

Every day I look through my window. I see people doing their daily tasks. Some mother goes with her kid and a men takes his dog for a walk. A guy on a bicycle with headphones, looking happy. And a group of teenagers walking and laughing through the street. How much I want this. I sit here and watch. Some kind of Rapunzel I am.

The bodies looked so much like clay dolls, that you might doubt that any of them had ever even been alive.

I'll give up. I can't do it. I thought before doing this that I had no chance. But if I didn't do it, I would regret it. I won't like myself if I stay like this...

Making a world where kids don’t need to cry… that was the whole reason I became a spy in the first place.

Marriage? Conventional happiness? I got rid of those aspirations as well as my identity, the day I became a spy.
