She must have known that returning to the red-light district meant she wouldn't last long. But she went back anyway. In the end, none of us can leave the place we know best, no matter how dirty and disgusting it is. Having no money and no other means of survival is part of the reason, but it's never the whole reason. We go back to our own filthy origins because it's a filth we know. Putting up with that filth is easier than facing the fear of being tossed into the wider world, and the loneliness that is as deep and wide as that fear.
UN-SU KIM, The Plotters (Canada, USA, Europe)
