Quote #10
When Ada disappeared into the trees, it was like a part of the richness of the world had gone with her. He had been alone in the world and empty for so long. But she filled him full, and so he believed everything that had been taken out of him might have been for a purpose. To clear space for something better. (19.14)
Hmm. Empty sounds bad. But maybe feeling empty gives Inman a kind of freedom he couldn't have reached before. And maybe that lets him accept something better. Could he have come to this point with Ada without the experience of war?
