When his sister wakes him up and opens the shutters to the daylight, he says: "Murderer. You just destroyed millions of stars, and for sure there was life on some of them. You wiped out whole cultures. Get out and evaporate, you and your bones." A few moments later, he says "There's no God. There's no truth. There's no meaning to this shallow existence."
To the guidance counselor he says: "You know your raven?" ("What raven?") "The one waiting outside for you. Outside your office where there aren't any parents, any teachers, any counselors. You can play catch with me till tomorrow but your words have no meaning. You're a speck of dust drifting in an insane universe. You, and your stockings too. This conversation isn't happening, and you don't exist. So how can I be angry with you? You're dead."
