““I know," Diane said, "but not having options doesn't mean you don't have choices." "Um...I don't get it." Diane crouched in front of me, smelling of sweat and punch and appetizers from downstairs. "You can come to Japan filled with hope and confidence that you'll make it work. Or you can be dragged because your life's in tatters and none of us can fix it the way you want. And who knows, maybe this will all sort itself out and you'll have choices you didn't even realize you had. You still have choices because you can decide how you face this. You can choose your next move, Katie.””
