It was when you began talking about the books that behind your attentive and perfect, lucid reasoning, I was struck by a kind of urgency you couldn't control, as if you had to hurry to get out everything you'd decided to tell me and everything you had decided not to tell. Everything you wanted to say before the sudden emergence of that evident, terrible, illuminating thing, the decision you had made: to become my friend before killing yourself.
