Paranoia may always be pathological, but it doesn't mean it's impossible to love.
Maybe our life trajectories are very routine,
But why, why can't we be paranoid at some point?

Each character in the novel may be just a different personality of one person.
Maybe there is a kind of life you want,
Maybe it's none of them, only when combined together can it be considered complete.
