"We were, the two of us, still fragmentary beings, just beginning to sense the prescence of an unexpected, to-be-acquired reality that would fill us and make us whole. We stood before a door we'd never seen before. The two of us alone, beneath a faintly flickering light, our hands tightly clasped together for a fleeting ten seconds of time."

-Haruki Murakami, "South of the Border, West of the Sun"
