Nomi, he said, you just need to wake up to the fact that other people need to know where you're going. But there's nobody behind me, I told him. And he said, reassuringly, that someday there may be.
Nomi is told by someone that she needs to be more aware of how her actions and future plans are communicated to others. The importance of sharing one's direction with others is emphasized, suggesting that it helps create connections or support. Nomi, however, responds by saying there is currently no one behind her, implying she feels alone or unsupported at that moment.
The other person offers a hopeful perspective, suggesting that in the future, there might be someone behind her, indicating the possibility of future companionship or support. This exchange reveals themes of loneliness, hope, and the human need for connection, as explored in Miriam Toews' novel "A Complicated Kindness."
