Nakata's empty inside... Do you know what it means to be completely empty? Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want. That's what scares me...
Nakata let his body relax, switched off his mind, allowing things to flow through him. This was natural for him, something he'd done ever since he was a child, without a second thought. Before long th...

I’ve got people I want to understand and people I want to be understood by.
I’m me, and at the same time not me. That’s what it felt like. A very still, quiet feeling.
