A prologue of some sort...

"...we all belong to the places we've never even been before. If there is any kind of legitimate nostalgia, it's for everything we've never even seen, the women we've never slept with, never dreamed of, the friends we haven't made, the books we've never read, all the food steaming in the pots we've never eaten out of. That's the only real kind of nostalgia there is..." - paco ignacio taibo II
