During breakfast, Finland couldn't help but think that she was starting to get used to this kind of life; meeting Caspar every day and sharing her ups and downs with him. Nothing felt out of place and unpleasant. Everything felt light and warm, and Finland liked who she was when she was around Caspar.
"Caspar, you have lived for a very long time, right...?" Finland asked suddenly, "What does it feel like?"
"Uhm... normal, I guess." Caspar shrugged. "You are used to eating rice, right? There's nothing special about eating rice. The same goes for me; I've lived like this for so many centuries. Look, if a poor person suddenly becomes rich, he would feel that something special happened in his life. He would feel like the world turned upside down, and he would feel like he is living a new life. However, for me it is different. I have lived like this for so long, it feels normal. What I don't know is how it feels like to live as an ordinary person."
