The third sentence always matters

I was translating a quiet scene last night—two people talking in a kitchen, one saying something about the weather, the other replying with 'It’s not the weather, it’s the silence.' That third sentence. The one that isn’t about the topic. I sat with it for ten minutes. Not because it was profound, but because it wasn’t. It just was. Like how my old shoes still fit better than the new ones I bought last month. They’re worn down to the shape of my feet. I don’t know why I keep them. Maybe because they remember what I’ve walked through.
