“But because me and myself, as you no doubt are well aware, we are going to die, my relation—and yours too—to the event of this text, which otherwise never quite makes it, our relation is that of a structurally posthumous necessity.
Suppose, in that case, that I am not alone in my claim to know the idiomatic code (whose notion itself is already contradictory) of this event. What if somewhere, here or there, there are shares in this non-secret’s secret? Even so the scene would not be changed. The accomplices, as you are once again well aware, are also bound to die.”

“Certainty was my bread and butter. I sought it until I felt I could tackle each issue with assurance. Everything needed to remain black and white to maintain certainty and its power. Yet the gray areas had an un-mistakeable pull on me and I was no longer resisting the draw. Gray would become the wise guru on my path, helping me merge the split mind I inherited into one integrated human.”
