“We're all playing catch up. From the moment we're born we're the beneficiaries of millennia of struggle. We've been inherited the best and worst of everyone who came before us, we had no say in the matter. We didn't elect to be born, pick our parents, our circumstances, or our environment.

“But maybe that’s the trick night performs. Darkens everybody, highlights the nothingness around them. Maybe in the dark, everyone seems more alone than they are.”
