Some of us are spinning in circles about it with nothing to go on.

[ there's no winning here. ]

Yeah, that's one possibility. You've got brightness in you, Laurence.

[outdistanced]

Maybe, but they're just trying to do what they can to help. Maybe that was the best thing they could think of.

[ frowns. ]

"Brightness?"

[florescences]

You're quick to support them.

[ there's no judgment or anything. it's only an observation. ]

Yeah. I meant what I said.

[outdistanced]

Because they're here to help us.

...I'm not sure I get it, but okay. If you say so.

[florescences]

If I said I'm here to help you, would you support me, too?

[ she's mostly joking. ]

You haven't proved me wrong yet.

[ well!! he's gonna ignore that part!! ]

That's kind of what you said before, isn't it? [ offering to help him with his troubles? ] People are supposed to work together, anyway. Otherwise everything would be a confusing mess like it is right now.

[florescences]

[ cute she thinks he's so cute. ]

They are, aren't they? We'll have to work together going forward, whatever happens next. I'm glad you agree.

[outdistanced]

Sure, that's how any community works. If there really is some kind of danger here now, we have to try and keep each other safe.

[florescences]

It's easier for a community to unite in the face of a common threat.

[ she agrees. ]

Is this something you're used to, Laurence?

[outdistanced]

I... don't know if I'd say that. [ shoves hands in his pockets. ] I've never been in a position like this before - the Tower's always been pretty safe, until recently. But if someone's really in trouble and you're the only one who can help, what other choice is there?

But if what Yves said is true about everyone falling asleep, I don't know how much we could do in another situation like that. Just hope that it doesn't happen again?

[florescences]

See, doesn't that show the light in you? What other choice is there... You could choose to walk away.

[ she smiles. ]

I think we can plan for the aftermath if it happens again, but I hope it doesn't. People already had to suffer dying... we don't need to add that again.

[outdistanced]

...I just don't want anyone to get hurt.

[ he usually can't do anything and usually wouldn't even have to. it's just different when there's no one else. ]

Yeah, I don't even understand how it's possible. If we're already dead, how can we just die a second time? It doesn't make sense.
