We’d have to hope no one gets sick of waiting and goes back inside, we’d have to hope that the building really will crash into the river, to make all of this worth it, because if it didn’t, there would be two thousand sleep-deprived people on the streets, angry and possibly ready to follow suit if someone starts to protest, or smash windows, or . . . no. No, I don’t think that would happen, I think they would be pissed, but nothing like that. They’ll just want to go back to sleep.” “Everyone has been through a lot.”
