How do you know they're like that if you don't see them? Isn't it possible they've gotten past it? They've had twenty years.

I'll go when the war is over, if we're alive and allowed. [ So never. ] You can come. We can drink all of their wine.

[exequy]

That would make sense, but no. We used to dance, too. Nikos especially.
