     ―Minä annoin sinulle sen nimen, Irja oli vastannut. ―Se oli minulta tietoinen eksperimentti, koe. Minä halusin olla kaikkia oletuksia ja ennakkoluuloja vastaan, ja näyttää että Julia, pojan pariksi ikuisesti tuomittu tyttö, kuoleman vihkimä ikuinen morsian, voi olla ensimmäistä kertaa historiassa pariton, vain itseään varten.
