[INCOMING CALL FROM PAPPA]
pappa (dad)? is everything okay?
everything's fine, my dear. . . just wanted to call you and see how you're doing.
oh, god. . . dad, you gave me quite a scare back there, you know?
i just. . . dad just missed you. . .
oh, pappa. . . i miss you, too. a lot. but isn't it close to 1am in gothenburg. what are you still doing up? shouldn't you be asleep by now?
i wanted to talk to you. . . about something, naomi. it's been. . . well, it's been bugging me a little lately and it's. . . well, you see. . . i went to our local bakery to get some fresh bread for myself and the neighbors. . .
okay. . .
. . . and, i---i ran into her.
. . . you---you ran into who exactly, pappa?
naomi---
oh, god, please tell me it wasn't---
your mother. . . she was there, at the bakery with her family. i just. . . i---i couldn't just stand there and not go up to talk to her, naomi. it's been seventeen years since we last saw each other, since we last spoke to one another and i thought that things would, maybe, be different by now. . . that your mother would have perhaps changed.
. . . what did you say to her exactly?

i went up to her and said 'hello'. . . and asked how she's been all these years. i told she looked really great and that her kids really took after her. . .
and then?
. . . and then she just looked at me like i've gone completely mad. she said she doesn't remember me but her eyes, her eyes could never lie to me. i knew she remembered me but she treated me as though i was a complete stranger who was harassing her and her children. she. . . she looked at me the same way she had when she left us. . .
pappa. . .
i just miss her so much sometimes, naomi.
dad, it wasn't your fault. she only has her own interest at heart, not yours and certainly not mine. and it's always been like this. she's always been like this---let's just please. . . let's not talk about her anymore---
it broke my heart. . . my heart ached like it did when she left seventeen years ago. . . oh, god, i'm sorry for bringing this up with you, naomi but i. . . i just didn't have anyone else to talk to and---
pappa, it's okay. you can always talk to me about anything. . . i'm---i'm okay, i'm a big girl and i can handle this.
no, kära (dear). i'm supposed to be protecting you from all this. . . not coming to you and talking about it. i'm sorry if i've upset you. . . i just---i wasn't expecting to receive that kind of treatment from your mother.
. . . neither was i, pappa. neither was i. did s-she. . . did she ask about me?
. . . i'm so sorry, naomi. i shouldn't have called you to tell you this---
dad. did she or did she not?
naomi---
it's okay. pappa, it's okay. i think i get it. i should, um, i have to. . . go. i haven't had my dinner yet and the restaurant just down the street is about to close so. . . i'll, um, i'll call you soon, alright? don't think too much about this, please. she's not worth your time and she's not worth your tears either.
