" What did I know about them? ...I saw it all, how we had failed to penetrate each other's hearts... I blamed the job, how it made everything feel temporary and unpredictable. We never had the time to say anything that mattered... The jargons, the tenets, the manifestos --- it was for us. To make us feel noble, called, necessary... Perhaps the biggest fallacy I subscribed to was that I was --- that we were --- irreplaceable. "
