“You see, we were able to give you something, something which even now no one will ever take from you, and we were able to do that principally by sheltering you. Hailsham would not have been Hailsham if we hadn鈥檛. Very well, sometimes that meant we kept things from you, lied to you. Yes, in many ways we fooled you, I suppose you could even call it that. But we sheltered you during those years, and we gave you your childhoods. Lucy was well-meaning enough. But if she鈥檇 have her way, your happiness at Hailsham would have been shattered. Look at you both now! I鈥檓 so proud to see you both. You built your lives on what we gave you. You wouldn鈥檛 be who you are today if we鈥檇 not protected you. You wouldn鈥檛 have become absorbed in your lessons, you wouldn鈥檛 have lost yourselves in your art and your writing. Why should you have done, knowing what lay in store for each of you? You would have told us it was all pointless, and how could we have argued with you? So she had to go.”

There was now a strange atmosphere around the table, a kind of tingle going round...They'd heard of this Hailsham couple, the guy had only a few weeks left before he became a carer. And they went to see someone and got everything put back three years...Three years just to themselves, because they could prove they were properly in love.”
― Kazuo Ishiguro, Never Let Me Go

“... I was suddenly looking at everything鈥攖he Cottages, everybody there鈥攊n a different light. I was now one of the ones leaving, and soon enough, everyone knew it.”
