Con Biancaneve so sempre cosa c'è che non va. Lei è trasparente come il vetro. Tu, invece, sei... sei fatta di una materia attraverso la quale non riesco a vedere. Legno, forse. O latte. Sei enigmatica. La mia bambina enigmatica.

Era più fragile di quanto fosse mai stata, ma avvolta da una pesante cappa di tristezza. E un mantello del genere occupava molto spazio in una casa tanto piccola.
