Never let youself go

You don’t care, but who cares?

You say that you have been educated to deceive since you were a child, but what about when you grow up? Isn’t there a TV and a book to read? Never thought of what's wrong with this? Never thought that there is another way to live? The female teacher who told you the truth was only mentioned by you as a laughingstock many years later.

You say that you feel that life is of no value. Both clones and humans will die in the end. After you have true love, understand jealousy and fulfillment, and learn forgiveness and hope, don't you want to continue to live? But what you have done is nothing more than asking them to give alms for a few years. If you love so much, you can only get this at best?

Well, the last hope is also broken. It turns out that they have never regarded you as a human being. They don't want to examine your character, but doubt whether you have character. They don't think you belong to a human being at all.

But you are not angry at all. You left with an apologetic but elegant smile, howling desperately on the way home. what's the function? If you protest, question, call for more and more you to question, or they will be surprised to find that you also have emotions, not just a copy, a tool for organs. But the fact is that even fewer of you are begging for alms.

Yes, this is quite tacky. They are as tacky as the humans who take your organs, and the species that are more selfish and sophisticated than you, and savage and bloodier than you.

But did you know that they care about their life more than you do, they have the self you lack.

This is why they can live with their loved ones for a few more years. Instead of you.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Nurse: I think she wants to complete, and you know, when they want to complete, they usually do.

  • Ruth: You hear things, don't you.

    Kathy: What kind of things?

    Ruth: Well, you know... Maybe after the fourth donation, when you've technically 'completed', you're still conscious in a way. And then you find out that there's more donations, plenty of them. Just no more recovery centers, no more carers. Just watching and waiting... till they switch you off... I don't think I fancy that.
