“Vaclav has said goodnight to Lena every night since the night she went away. Out loud. In a whisper. [...] He filled the words with all his love and care and worry for Lena and launched them out to her, and like homing pigeons, he trusted them to find her.”

“Lena is sure that other people don't have many selves. She is terrified that she doesn't have a core self, an essential Lena.

― Haley Tanner, Vaclav & Lena
