He was already dead, he reflected
Han var allerede død, tænkte han
It felt as if it was only now that he had made the decisive step
Det føltes, som om det først var nu, at han havde taget det afgørende skridt
he had finally begun to be able to formulate his thoughts
han var endelig begyndt at kunne formulere sine tanker
The consequences of every act are included in the act itself
Konsekvenserne af hver handling er inkluderet i selve handlingen

he had recognized himself as a dead man
han havde genkendt sig selv som en død mand

To fingre på hans højre hånd var blækplettede

Det var præcis den slags detaljer, der kunne forråde dig
