“Marzia: People who read are hiders. They hide who they are. People who hide don't always like who they are.
Elio: Do you hide who you are?
Marzia: Sometimes. Don't you?
Elio: Do I? I suppose. Do you hide from me?
Marzia: No, not from you. Or maybe, yes, a bit.
Elio: Like what?
Marzia: You know exactly like what.
Elio: Why do say that?
