– I need to be alone.
A phrase that you wouldn’t have paid attention to a while ago. After all, this is Sebastian, he’s always been a bit of a recluse and needed a day or two to wander around the neighborhood and be alone with himself and a cigarette, even though he had long promised to quit smoking.
But when "I need to be alone" comes up more and more often, to the point that Sebastian hardly shows up at home. And meanwhile you have a big farm on your shoulders and a one-month-old baby in your arms, who has been very cranky and crying for the last week, needing both parents, then it becomes almost impossible not to pay attention and, even more so, not to get annoyed by it.
So when in the middle of the day, a child's loud cry is heard everywhere, saying "I need to be alone," it becomes more than obvious that this cannot continue.
