[Once Akira shifts and the weight is lifted from him, Goro leans towards his nightstand and reaches to open the small locker. From there he digs out a black book with white lettering, one that's seen better days for sure. Damn hooligans not knowing to respect the property of library.

Then, he leans back on the bedframe, pops one knee up so that he can rest the book against it. He opens from seemingly random page and begins to read:]

We tend to think of power as always radiating in a single direction - from top to bottom - and coming from a specific source - the sovereign, the state, the ruling class and so on. However, the power does not 'function in a form of chain ', it circulates. It is never monopolized by one center. It is deployed and exercised through a net like organization. This suggests that we are all, to some degree, caught up in it's circulation - oppressed and oppressors. It does not radiate downwards, either from one source or from one place. Power relations permeate all levels of social existence and are therefore to be found operating at the every site of social life, in the private spheres of the family and sexuality as much as in the public spheres of politics, the economy and the law.

And as he reads he let's his free hand to find its way to Akira's hair, gently petting it.]
