"To hear of people who can speak and love and reason and to still think that they are beasts, why, only a man could do that."
"Forgive me."
"Of course I will forgive you. Only a beast cannot forgive."

Just lovely.

This was a beautiful story about the importance of memory, grief, and forgiveness. I continue to be in awe of Nghi Vo's ability to pack such a punch in so few words.
