I had no friends in this city, and in a city where even love had been replaced by one-night stands, no one was willing to spend time on friendship.

Gradually, I grew tired of this city that still felt foreign after two years, tired of drifting, tired of loneliness. I wanted to find a sense of closeness, warmth.
