What was special about her was in those who loved her
Mr Capaldi believed there was nothing special inside Josie that coudn’t be continued. He told the Mother he’d searched and searched and found nothing like that. But I believe now he was searching in the wrong place. There was something very special, but it wasn’t inside Josie. It was inside those who loved her. That’s why I think now Mr Capaldi was wrong and I wouldn’t have succeeded. So I’m glad I decided as I did.
Klara the AF reflects on her decision to seek Josie’s restoration even if it impairs Klara’s capacity to “continue” (read: replace) Josie.
