"“It had disappeared, with the children. What happened that day is not called a departure or a removal. It’s called deportation. And we documented it.”

“Then why don’t you live a random life with me?” I asked. Jeong-il shook his head. “I’m not the type.” “How could you know that now?” “Because I do.

What I’m talking about is something like a person’s role in life.” “Forget about roles.” “If I did that, I’d stop being me.”
