When I started to live in the graveyard, my own blood family thought I was crazy and admitted me to the mental asylum. I came here because I could not bear the false glamour of city life. I hated the pretense that people put on. 墓地で暮らしはじめたとき、家族はわたしの気が狂ってしまったと思い込み、わたしは精神病院に入院させられた。この墓地に来たのは、町の暮らしの見せかけだけの華やかさに我慢ができなかったから。わたしは世の中の人びとが偽りの仮面をかぶったまま暮らしていることが大嫌いだった
