english: Still, Abed was far from my mind, when last year, I returned to Israel to write of the crash, and the book I then wrote, "Half-Life," was nearly complete when I recognized that I still wanted to meet Abed, and finally I understood why: to hear this man say two words: "I'm sorry."
non_english: Abed je bio daleko od mojih misli kada sam se prošle godine vratio u Izrael da pišem o sudaru i knjiga koju sam napisao "Polu-život" je bila gotovo završena kada sam shvatio da još uvek želim da upoznam Abeda i konačno sam razumeo zašto: kako bih čuo tog čoveka da izgovara reči: "Žao mi je."
