Then they are running. They made it. They were at last... home

• Unkown : I came here because I wanted a home. Where I could find peace. Where I could be treated like anyone else. Where I can be anyone I want to be.

• Unkown : And one day, she didn't wake up. So I took her body and put it in the water, and watched it float to where she wanted to go. And I was alone again

• Unkown : There were young people, old people, families. But lots of them, they were completely alone

• Unkown : [Whispering]  I stayed where nobody could find me.
