Ese día a Liesel le costó mucho decir lo que dijo al marcharse. Traducido, podríamos comentar que tuvo que forcejear con dos palabras gigantes, cargarlas al hombro y arrojarlas con torpeza a los pies de Ilsa Hermann. Pesaban tanto que al final la tambaleante niña no pudo sostenerlas más y cayeron de lado. Quedaron postradas en el suelo en toda su extensión, extravagantes y desgarbadas.

The Proclaimers thunder through my head.
Imagine it.
Imagine killing someone to the tune of two Scottish nerds wearing glasses and flattop haircuts. How will I ever listen to that song again? What will I do if it comes on the radio? I'll think of the night I murdered another man and stole his life with my own hands.

A pair of grave diggers.

The other did what he was told.
The question is, what if the 'other' is a lot more than one?

I don't want to hope for anything anymore. I don't want to pray that Max is alive and safe. Or Alex Steiner.
Because the world did not deserve them.
