Minusta tuntuu, että pahoista tavoistaan ei pääse eroon kuin toisen ihmisen avulla, Aurora sanoi. – On joku, jonka takia haluaa muuttua. Vielä parempi, jos hän tukee muutosta.

I feel that no one can get rid of their bad habits as they can with another person's help, Aurora said. There's somebody, because of whom one wants to change. Even better if they support the change.
