Then,

They have been together since then. Of course she became his only female assistant and knew all his secrets, but of course she felt that there was no magic anymore.
She has to work hard to arrange his schedule, practice and cooperate with him repeatedly, go to various countries, and may also try to block his swarming female admirers.

Can you imagine your first girlfriend moaning under someone else's body?
Her shiny black hair. Her snow-white uniform. She had smiling sparkling eyes. She leaned against the tree and read a book. The piano music she practiced for you over and over again.
You accidentally held hands.
The evening self-study you escaped together.

Then she was getting older, with different men, wearing different makeup, running around in different places.
Your goddess, she also swipes soiled sheets in the bathroom.
Your goddess, she too will wake up alone in her hotel room feeling sad.
Your goddess, she will be drunk until dawn for whom she will worry about.
Your goddess, she will also light a cigarette at nights when she can't sleep to settle all kinds of new feuds and old accounts.
Your goddess, she too is frightened by a condomless exercise, taking the emergency contraceptive while knowing how bad it is; friends complain about her carelessness, and she weeps aggrieved.
Your goddess, she will also take a thirty-hour train to see each other, hear a goodbye, and then come back on a thirty-hour train.
Your goddess, she will also calculate in her heart who has a better net worth and who can pay the down payment for the house.
Your goddess, she will also deal with them, choosing the most favorable position to play the most favorable role.
Your goddess, she will think that relying on a man is worse than relying on herself, while smiling at the client who is touching her thigh under the table.
Your goddess, she can't figure out what she wants, and she doesn't want to watch it anymore after watching all the joys and sorrows at such a young age.

Your goddess, she should think of you occasionally.
She might wonder how the fool is doing now.
She might think, this silly boy said he wanted to marry me.
She might think, this silly boy.
While laughing at himself.

The Illusionist quotes

  • Eisenheim: From the moment we enter this life we are in the flow of it. We measure it and we mark it, but we cannot defy it. We cannot even speed it up or slow it down. Or can we? Have we not each experienced the sensation that a beautiful moment seemed to pass to quickly, and wished that we could make it linger? Or felt time slow on a dull day, and wished that we could speed things up a bit?

  • Chief Inspector Uhl: As you know... we some times follow Duchess Von Teschen for her protection... Yesterday she was seen in the company of another man...

    Crown Prince Leopold: What man?

    Chief Inspector Uhl: Eisenheim, the illusionist.

    Crown Prince Leopold: What were they doing?

    Chief Inspector Uhl: Well they were meeting and uh...

    Crown Prince Leopold: Touching? Kissing?... Fornicating?
