Back to 2004: I Became Cold and Indifferent

Family? Friendship? Love? Dreams?

I had those things in elementary school, in middle school too, and a few of them in college.

Now?

Heh.

In thirty years, the thing I've learned best is indifference.

Family, friendship, love, dreams, the world's coldness: you expect me to believe in any of that?

Not even a thirty-year-old * believes in it!

Heh. Let's keep it simple and talk about exchanges instead. Neither of us owes the other anything. Simple and straightforward!
