     03:21 - I’m... guessing you’re still asleep. I’m out on the balcony. It’s... surprisingly quiet. 

     03:24 - ...We’ve been working hard, you and I. The riots have slowed. Things are calmer, they’ve changed...

     03:25 - I’ve changed. 

     03:30 - I know you’re groaning at such a pathetically sentimental statement like that, but... It’s been on my mind. I think that... we’ve really changed each other.

     03:32 - Don’t laugh at that! I know it’s stupid. Yet, I can’t stop thinking about it... 

     03:35 - Love can... do a lot to change a person. That was something that was always lacking in my novels: change. I always thought that true love was stagnant, unmoving... that was comforting to me, as someone who had lost so much. I wanted a love that stayed put.

     03:37 - I’ve realized now, though... that isn’t what love is. Love works together to overcome challenges. It doesn’t stand still. It changes, fluctuates, moves along rhythmically with the flow of two entwined paths.

     03:38 - Love changes when it needs to, and it changes for the better. 

     03:40 - Thank you... for teaching me that.
