What I'm not sure about is whether those feelings are illusions

On Helson's lawn, RUTH and KATHY, two little girls snuggled in the grass, imagining the future, with you, me, and a foal. All the good things are sprouting in the bottom of my heart, and I think that the most arbitrary and sincere life is a state full of memories.
Whispering, echoing the melody, the story is one after another, since KATHY saw the tears that quietly poured out when KATHY saw TOMMY holding RUTH's hand, we were like hiding in the corner with arms clasped and panting and tickling the bones. Just like KATHY, he firmly controls his state, expresses cautiously, and moves carefully. So well-behaved, so calm, no matter how much I hurt, I can't bear to hurt him a little bit, thinking that as long as I have time to be with him, I am lucky.
10 years later, after depression, pain and separation, the one who lives better at this time, the one who is still in good health, stands on a high position and never abandons them in the name of true love. So the Libra of fate immediately turned against him, and the film subverted all previous appearances according to the ridiculous life line and told Cathy that it was not an illusion, it was a perfect match, you and TOMMY.
And this is the real world. Without RUTH, tomorrow is not the end. TOMMY, as an absolute other that cannot be implanted in KATHY, what you think of him will always be just his own feelings. Whether it is true love or not, if what he chooses is not you, you will only have a sigh.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Kathy: It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them and not let unseen tides pull us apart.

  • [first lines]

    Kathy: My name is Kathy H. I'm 28 years old. I've been a carer for nine years. And I'm good at my job. My patients always do better than expected, and are hardly ever classified as agitated, even if they're about to make a donation. I'm not trying to boast, but I feel a great sense of pride in what we do. Carers and donors have achieved so much. That said, we aren't machines. In the end it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back, to The Cottages and Hailsham, and what happened to us there. Me. Tommy. And Ruth.
