Comments

[agleam]

...Sure.

[he thinks about it for a moment, before the scene changes to a courtyard below a castle on a hillside on a bright, sunny day.]

[guestservices]

[hm...]

Home? Or something like it.

[agleam]

[he nods.]

Yeah, this is what it used to be like. Nice, right?

[guestservices]

Sure. Very...you. [there's a slow nod, but they are looking around.] Think it'll ever go back to being like this?

[agleam]

...I hope so. I guess we'll find out in a little over two weeks.

[guestservices]

[they tilt their head.]

What makes you say that?

[agleam]

Well - that's how long is left on our contract, right? It said about eight weeks.

[guestservices]

Yeah, but...you're kinda still here?

[agleam]

Yeah... That's why I said I'll see in two weeks. Either we'll find a way home, or - you know. We won't.

[guestservices]

...this is a morbid question, but are you prepared in case you can't?

[agleam]

I don't really have a choice but to be.

[he shrugs.]

I'm not scared. No matter what happens, I know I'll have done everything possible to make it home. But... I'm worried for the others here.

[guestservices]

You think it'll be harder on some of them? I haven't talked to everyone since you passed on.

[agleam]

Well - I meant I'm worried specifically the people who have died here, if none of us find a way to come back. Although, it's not like I'm not worried about what you said...

[guestservices]

[there's a slow nod. okay.]

I wish I had an answer for you, but I don't. Everything's up to you guys at this point to try and figure stuff out. All I can do is hear you out.

[agleam]

[he shakes his head.]

No - it's okay. We'll figure it out.

[guestservices]

[there's a nod. and a pause.]

...until then. You said this was important to you. [a gesture with the hand.] Up for a tour?

[agleam]

[after a moment, he nods with a faint smile.]

Sure. A tour sounds fun.

[guestservices]

Okay. Where do we start? I don't want to lead us somewhere and get us lost or something.
