About This Quote

Elliot paused and let Chris’s guitar echo for a long moment before he practically whispered the final line into his microphone. “The one you took from me.” This line is extremely difficult to translate into English, but the meaning is obvious. Elliot’s mother died when he was very young. When she did, Elliot lost both of his parents at the same time.

He was only eleven years old, so the loss of his mother was especially painful for him. But it would be wrong to think that this loss was all on him. He wasn’t responsible for her death; she was killed by a drunk driver while she was on her way home from her job at a local bar.

So it would be wrong to blame Elliot for the death of his mother, but it would be equally wrong to blame him for any pain that came later in life.
