"There is something that I need to tell you. I do not know how to initiate this but, well, let me try otherwise these words would wind up my lungs like serpents until I am dead. Before I die, I want to tell you the truth."
"What is it?"
"Those stories about happily never after were lies."
"What?"
"I told you that no story is beautiful without death but actually some stories live a beautiful end. All stories live a beautiful end."
"Why?"
"Because they aim to show you the brighter side of life. Carpe diem, they say."
"Why did you have to lie to me?"
"I don't know."
"That is no answer giagiá!"
"Probably I had to show you the reality of this cruel world."
"I believed you."
"Congratulations then! You're not a puppet to this world my love."
"Everything was a lie?"
"The stories? Yes. But the reality is right before your eyes. There is no love, nothing like love."
"What about Grandpa Kuku then? Did he never love you?"
"No, he didn't."
"Why... Will I never get love?"
"Shhh... Don't say it so loud. Love is an obscene word."
"I know, I know it now."
