Chapter 5:

Waiting for a Train (Projection)

How long has it been since he last sat at a table with them?

How much longer will it be that he has to sit with them?

How long does he have to face those discreet, pitying glances as his fiancée babbled away?

How long does he have to act stoically and soak in the radiating hatred?

How much longer must he pretend to be unfazed?

How much longer will she hide in the shadows of his mind?

Chapter 14: I was really confused when I started reading this story. I was surprised by the shortness of the chapters, and as there was no exact mention of who were the characters in each one, I wasn't sure of what I was reading (and understanding). X )
At first, I wondered if the chapters made sense altogether or if it was just random chapters describing different things. But then the plot appeared more precisely and I got captivated. So, I was really focused on it afterwards.
I don't know if I all understood well, I think I'd have to read it again, but I liked it very much in the end. I liked how only short events were narrated in each chapters, but still the overall story was understandable.
Actually, I think that even though the story seems to follow one plot, there is not an unique way to understand it. I think we can interpret it according to what we have personally understood. (Does that make sense?)
Anyway, this story is really original.
