You wake up in a dark place.

[avestan]

"...Oh."

[constellationprize]

... There are a lot of other things too, but those are some of them, I think.

[avestan]

He nods.

"Yeah. I think I get what you meant."

[constellationprize]

... Is that okay...?

[avestan]

"It is. It's definitely okay."

[constellationprize]

... Okay. That's good . . .

Where do I go now...?

[avestan]

"It's time for you to wake up."

[constellationprize]

... Can I ask you something, first?

[avestan]

"Of course."

[constellationprize]

This "you" - can you sleep here...? Do you sleep...?

[avestan]

"I don't."

[constellationprize]

... Do you want to?

[avestan]

"Why would I?"

[constellationprize]

Even if you're just a representation of part of him - it's comfortable, and it feels nice, doesn't it...?

And - ... if you want to try it, too ... I'll stay with you until you fall asleep.

[avestan]

"Dia, that's stupid."

[constellationprize]

... How?

I don't think it's stupid...

[avestan]

"You said it yourself, I'm just a representation. If I go to sleep, that just means this part of 'me' becomes suppressed. I don't actually gain anything from it."

[constellationprize]

Oh...

... You won't be lonely by yourself...?

[avestan]

"I won't, as long as the actual 'me' isn't lonely."

[constellationprize]

Okay. Then I should be there for him when he wakes up . . .

But can we do something, before I go...?

[avestan]

"Yeah, sure."

[constellationprize]

Will you hold my hand?

[avestan]

...He reaches out and takes your hand in his.

[constellationprize]

[ just gives his hand a squeeze - firm, gentle as always - as she shuts her eyes, finally content ]
