This story is about two women. One woman questions the motives behind what she thinks and does-her conception of herself. The other woman can't stop asking questions about everything. She wants to know how everything works, and she does everything she can to satiate her curiosity. But both women have the same basic problem with human existence. They don't know what is in charge when it comes to human action-is there a "self " that humans possess, or is everything just the result of physical forces that play-out in a creature's life. While they hunt for answers, other parties are playing-out the consequences of their own beliefs and urges. And as in many cases where disparate beliefs and desires collide, some people die, and some people shine.
