Hold on, give her a sec, she's writing the "trainers," "tennis shoes," and "runners" down. goddamnit why are there so many words for the same thing this isn't even fair.

"It's... It's a very big Importance in a book that I translate. A man speaks to the Heroine and says that buying "Turnschuhe," or sneakers, for children is emotional. She feels overwhelm by this tale, and that is what makes her wish to have a child." Her language becomes significantly more fluid when she speaks about things she's interested in, despite her failed grammar (and totally forgetting that English uses the past tense a lot).

"It is difficult... To, um, express? Yes, express. It is difficult to express the importance of the moment."
