START: How could I? How could I? You hypocrite, Melchior. Do you not think that I was driven by the same passions and confusions as you? Do you not think that I had needs, that I had desires?
[...]
END: But I am still loved. I have found my family and it is not a family of blood, it is a family of choice. I am finally free and, thanks to the love and care of these good women – I am finally myself. My own true self. Shame on you all.
