“Creemos que somos únicos e irrepetibles. Nos han vendido la idea (y sin dudarlo la hemos comprado) de que nadie es como nosotros. Pero la realidad es que nos parecemos tanto a los demás que no nos damos cuenta. Crecemos con la necesidad de sentirnos integrados a nuestra comunidad y nos hacemos dependientes de las masas. Hacemos lo que hacen los demás, queremos ser como la gente que admiramos. Somos todo lo que vemos, escuchamos, leemos, comemos, bebemos, compramos, amamos y odiamos. Vivimos con el instinto gregario a flor de piel”.

In this story, we hear Adam trying to work out what the "new creature with long hair" is all about. She names things, much to Adam's annoyance. She follows him around.
