[ The lighting is set up so that Harvey's scarred side is mostly obscured by shadow. His location isn't clear, completely hidden in darkness, though his coin gleams occasionally in the faint light. What of the walls that can be seen have been marked with countless tallies and illegible writing. ]
People always called me crazy for believing in fate. Destiny. The power of choice. It seems so easy to believe in free will when you're able to take that kind of thing for granted... you all do. Every day, without even thinking about it. Here we are, though. Waiting. Counting out the minutes, hours, days, who even knows, until everything goes back to the way we always know it and there'll be nothing we can do. Out of our hands, completely. Even mine. When I woke up I thought I understood everything, but this is all just another hoax. A quick fix that came out of the air.
[ He rubs his fingers along the left side of his face. ]
Don't you all know that I wish I could choose? It isn't fair. We're at peace right now. Or... we could be... but... no matter how I flip the coin it won't--
[ He hyperventilates a little and claws at his bad side. There's blood visible on his hand. He begins breathing harder and harder and shaking a little. ]
It won't change.
Can't live like this.
