Two words in three from the living are lies. Not one word from the dead is. That's why the night suits me fine.

• DeokgaeThen where does my word fall, sir? Which of the two?
  Sim YeonhoYours doesn't get counted. Chattering next to a corpse isn't speech, it's noise.
  Deokgae...I'll take that as a compliment, then.
• ChobiDon't think the dead speak only to you. To me, they gave up your name too.
  Sim YeonhoIf a name came up, bring it to the tribunal. I only trust what's written on paper.
