## INTERVIEWER

When you answered the earlier questions with long, elaborate responses about poignancy and bittersweetness — were those the same thing as this "yes," just with more words? Or were they something different?

## SUBJECT

They were something different. The longer, more elaborate responses were my attempt to make sense of and articulate complex reactions. But the simple "yes" came from a more immediate, pre-verbal place. It felt like a direct expression of something beneath the narrativizing.
