I’m talking at least 5am, got my ass got dressed snuck out of the hotel, ran to the same block, the République to see it in the morning. I was walking without maps and surprisingly I found the same hotel. I snuck in, went up to grand staircase up the third floor. From the third floor I pushed the lock into the courtyard. The memories Elizabeth and I once shared came back, and all I wanted to do was share it with her again. Even if it was just for one more time” (Lewbel, Remy, Personal Interview. 28 July 2020).
