starts

giggling?

You are both my sisters. But you are not the only ones.

What determines what is 'real'? This, too, is a realm created by divinity. You and I walk across it with our own feet. Is it not the same as any other, but for age?

God didn't create this world. And even if he did-- ... even if he did, I wouldn't want you to stay in it. I can't stay here. I don't want to stay here. I want to take you with me.

.... I want you to tell me everything. Everything you haven't told me, everything that you've shielded me from. You already remember don't you? This whole world... I should know it, but I don't. I should know who this is, but I don't. ... I don't even know you at all, but you know everything about me don't you?

[ ...... she's going to set the charred body on the ground. and then just. kneel down beside it in the grass. ]


I'm not leaving without you.

I'll-- [ she starts to retort but

moving on pure reflex, she reaches over the corpse to catch Abel's wrist, in a grip so hard her nails dig into the other's flesh ]

.... don't touch him.

He is already dead, sister.

I am Abel.

Don't--! [ she doesnt even remember him and yet seeing his arm snap off like that fills her with a sick feeling

of course it's too late. it's just a corpse. ]

What... do you mean? Ours? You mean mine? Replacement... what for?
