I'm close to the end. Looking back this book never made me feel happy. It drew me in through its beautiful, elegant prose. Yet a sense of despair has always been there, stronger with each passing moment, until it is felt in every single word on every single page. Aue will have no salvation. For his is a story with no light at the end of the tunnel; a happy ending now can only soil it. He must see to it; so do I.
