[Truly they are the least reliable narrators in the world when it comes to their people.
But finally, Kaveh's expression shifts to something more pleasant--not a smile, exactly, but something nostalgic and proud, almost like a parent reflecting on a child.]
It went perfectly the second time. It's my magnum opus, at least for now. I can show you next time we go to the virtual reality room, if you'd like.
Well, I would be much of a famous architect if I let my dreams be fulfilled with a single project, would I?
