A feeling of familiarity struck me. It was a famous movie about a pianist leading a wandering life on the sea. When he faced a modern metropolis he had never seen before, he panicked and gave up the sparkling opportunities hidden in the city. He was determined to stay on the cruise forever for a pure life. I had never been affected by his decision before yet understood it at this moment.

​

“ ‘All that city... You just couldn’t see an end to it... It wasn’t what I saw that stopped me... It was what I didn’t see... What I couldn’t see was where all that came to an end. The end of the world.’
