It was a kind of cowardice he would never understand, though he was guilty of it himself. How did you kill and still call yourself righteous? How did you live when you let the people you loved die? As desperately as he wanted to forget, he needed even more dearly to remember. Katya and Eva, his mother and father and Giggi, Lipschitz and Koppelman. He owed them a debt, and promised from now on to live as honestly as possible.
