Being an adult is hard. It's especially hard when you’re only fifteen. Danutė is the only "adult" in her family. Clearly, that’s far too complex a role for a teenager. Every day, she faces external limitations that restrict her potential. A child like that measures everything through the lens of survival and takes on responsibility as her only form of protection.

Narcissus · 2012

Narcissus (from Greek Narkissos) shares the root nark-, with narcosis and narcotic. All these words have the same origin in the verb narkaō – to intoxicate through a strong smell.
