"The girl holds the knife as if her hand were a bird claw. not a human hand. Not a beautiful hand with long fingers and bitten nails. They are sitting opposite each other at the table. The woman is watching the girl. The girl's knuckles have turned white from squeezing the knife so hard. Clink, clink, clink. The knife makes crackling noises as it meets the porcelain. She is struggling. When she cats, it's as if she is struggling to saw through wooden logs. - When you look at me like that, you make me feel like a child, the girl says and looks down on her plate."
