scene 9
Here is a new twist. It’s not something I expected to rise from the ashes, this chance to go home.
I can’t pretend I didn’t feel anything - I did. I mean, going back is one of the few things we’re told we can never do, whether it’s in the City or life in general. Who wouldn’t want to go back?
There is something that has worried me. I don’t know what my purpose in coming here is.
Of course, there is the fact that lasers and explosions hardly ever mean well, but that much aside, purpose is very important.
If I don’t know what my purpose in coming here is, then I certainly haven’t fulfilled it. And if I haven’t fulfilled it, I haven’t any right to leave. There has to be a reason, there’s a reason for everything. No matter how bleak the situation, something good can always come of it. After all, happy endings are very rarely as simple as they seem. Sometimes the princess has to rescue herself. Even knights in shining armor can be reckless. And sometimes staying put is the best move you can make.
That is my decision, and I will stand by it - whatever comes.
