They still remember the time when they were other people: twenty-six and twenty-eight in Athens, with good degrees, jobs that were more than jobs and charming friends, walking the streets like characters in a film not yet shot. Now they have left for a corner of Europe, send fifteen to eighteen résumés a day, and when they say they are Greek people look at them silently as if to say 'sorry'. They sleep in the same bed but not quite together. Then one random night a man falls dead from the sky onto their roof terrace, and another onto the avenue. If they find out what happened, perhaps they can become other people again.
