A: You’re transfigured!
C: It’s just that it was wonderful! That feeling of freedom and all those women who fight for something and they fight together!
A: And reason is on their side. Or, rather, on our side, because by what right can they prevent us from saying what we think? Our brothers, our sons are going to that absurd war.
C: I’ve imagined you saying that from the stand. And that excitement at the end! […] But, well, you’ve been there before.
A: Yes, but… this was the first time you came with me.
C: Oh, and it won’t be the last. Aurora, you’re showing me a new world, a world much better than the one I knew.
A: You can really tell you’re a writer, because you say such things that…
C: You know, the only thing I regret is not having gathered enough courage to stand up and say something. I have so much to say!
A: You can do it next time!
C: No, I don’t think I’ll be able to.
A: Why not?
C: Well, because… I don’t like speaking in front of so many strangers.
A: But, next time, they won’t be strangers! Besides, you don’t have to speak in public if you don’t want to.
C: No, I do want to!
A: You can stand up, take the floor, and have everyone hear you, but you don’t have to speak in public. I will be there. You can talk to me. As if I were the only person there.
C: That’s what I’m going to do.
