“One small cat changes coming home to an empty house to coming home.”
“You know how cats do. They hide to die. Dogs come home.”
“And for the first time since coming home, i'm completely happy. It's strange. Home... to be here, in my technical house, and discover now someplace different... Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place?... For the two of us, home isn't a place. It's a person. And we're finally home.”
“But tonight, because Rome had fallen and Felix was dead, because of Valerius’s shame, the empty hut seemed horribly lonely, and there was a small aching need in him for somebody to notice, even if they were not glad, that he had come home.”
“That was the day that my brother was in our house again. In a strange and inexplicable way, my brother had come home.”
