Quote from All Instruments of Measurement as to why Johannes Deiter makes me headdesk on a regular basis
“They are both dead.” Mirek answers his unspoken question and Johannes tries not to sigh. He doesn’t want this conversation to go like this. “My father when I was small. My mother. I don’t know. I haven’t seen her. You killed her.”
“Not you.” And Johannes lets his breath out slowly. It’s a staggering relief. He wouldn’t have forgiven himself if he’d killed Mirek’s mother. “Just you. Nazis. SS. In the ghetto.”
*facepalm* *facepalm* *facepalm* Congratulation Johannes, you have won the gold medal at the 'Missing the point completely' olympics. I love the bastard, but grief.
Me and a friend, talking about our characters:
Friends: So, this Johannes, is he a good guy or bad guy?
Me:... Um... (so impossible to answer that one. It's hard to lable him a bad guy, but it's blinking IMPOSSIBLE to say he's a good guy!)... He's an idiot.
Never a truer word was spoken.
