Elsewhere Meanwhile in location O. these two, surprised by their presence, think that maybe they would be happier elsewhere. They would have a cat and more beautiful children, good memory, but without grief. Betrayal just to pretend. Doubt just for a moment, when the other doesn’t answer in the middle of the night. Fate would be gracious towards them and they would have time to waste time. Maybe they would even be able to see the future, as one sees – let’s say – an insect in amber and they would sell it by the sea in a souvenir shop.
