- Ma indulok veled utamon. - Együtt mondják, hangjukat szárnyra kapja a hideg levegő. - Ahová mégy, oda megyek én is. Ahol megállsz, megállok én is. Amikor alszol, én is alszom. Amikor felkelsz, én is felkelek. Hangod hangzásában töltöm napjaimat, kezed érintésében éjszakáimat. És nem állhat közénk senki sem.
