'I thought with gratitude that in those months, discreetly, he had worked to sew up around me a world that could be trusted. He had now arrived at his kindest act. He wanted me to understand that I no longer had to be frightened, that every movement could be narrated with all its reasons good and bad, that, in short, it was time to return to the solidity of the links that bind atogether spaces and times. With that gift he was trying to exonerate himself, he was exonerating me, he was attributing thedeath of Otto to the chance of the games of a dog at night.'
