“Se alimentaba de descontento, pero aquello no le llenaba el estómago. Se alimentaba del odio que sentía por todo, pero aquello no saciaba su sed. Se alimentaba de sueños de todo tipo: de venganza, de perdón, de automutilación, del amor que se encuentra en todas partes. Pero aquello seguía sin llenar su estómago y sin saciar su sed. Porque era una sed extraña. Un hambre desconocida que lo había apartado de sí mismo, de sus amigos, de su familia, de todas las cosas del mundo del que procedía.”
