I was finally beginning to perceive that no matter how many dead people I might see, or people at the instant of their death, I would never manage to grasp death, that very moment, precisely in itself.

He used you, yeah. But what if you hadn't come? My family would have run again, but we would never have been free. We would never stop hunting us." "I know." I thought of my frustration in Paris and I couldn't even imagine how sick of running Seth must be. "That's why I had to come." His eyebrow cocked upward. "And here I thought you came to see me. ↗
