I’m having a hard time telling who stopped it all up. Who stopped loving who? Did I stop caring? Maybe I only saw her in two-dimensions and I didn’t care to look at the other angles. I only saw planes. Then she shimmied up the z-axis when I wasn’t looking and I never did the homework to trace the coordinates. A limb on a geometrical tree and I am insisting on circles.

I don’t know. I’m confused. Is this growing up? Watching all your feathers come off? And even though some of those feathers were the most lovely things?

I have nothing to offer, and think that maybe we will never be able to speak again.

I suddenly want to lay my head in her lap. It has been so long that I can’t believe I was ever that comfortable with another person, that I could touch another body with no fear or care.

"Do you think we’re weird?”
He shook his head. “No, I don’t. I mean, normal is a type of madness, isn’t it? I think it’s just that the only madness society allows is called normal.”

"It's the way the world is, right? Everyone always says that things like common sense or instinct or morals are carved in stone. But that's not true--actually, they're always changing. That's what I think. And this isn't something that's happened all of a sudden, like you seem to think. It's always been that way. Things keep transforming."

the more i think about it the less i understand why it's considered so beyond the pale to want to keep parts of a dead loved one's body specifically. like why is it only okay if you put it in a box. how is that more loving than wearing them against your skin forever. riddle me this.

Life Ceremony has me so wrapped up in its coils that I couldn't read anything else rn if I tried. Sayaka Murata is so incredibly good at dissonance and discomfort. Like what do you mean a bridal veil made out of human skin?? Of craving the scent of someone's vomit/viscera??? Of being jealous over a curtain?? Of copulating in public with a belly full of human flesh?? The emphasis on the visceral uncomfortable nature of exchanging body fluids without sexual attraction, the focus on asexuality/ celibacy / family dynamics that are outside the "normal", the thumbing of the nose at homogeneity- I think I need to read it again.
