Fate

Lucius: Perhaps this is the end…

Love: Maybe… But no, we've come a long way. Why not try a little harder and persist a little longer? We never know. Perhaps we will overcome this. We should fight for it, regardless of how many days or years it takes.

Lucius: There's something we can't force, as it will break us. Neither of us will survive this. I don't want either of us to endure the painful journey of reclaiming our souls.

Love: We are growing distant. Your love for me wasn't as deep as my love for you. It's already challenging that our calls only reach 300 days into the future, and only now has our communication relay system managed to find a common frequency.

Lucius: I love you so much that you couldn’t even fathom the depth of it. I am imprisoned by the decisions that I have made. It is punishing me and you now. Look where i am now, a million miles away, a hundred of days apart from each other, living on a vessel with broken engines and on a no man’s land. Ultimately, I fear my situation may bring you down, and I am not okay with that.

Love: Our distance and time difference is huge; it takes two to shoulder this.

Lucius: I shouldn’t have left. I don’t even know now; I'm unsure if I'm speaking to a past version of you, one who arrived 300 days later, or if it's actually your present version.

Love: Hello, can you hear me? I can't hear you anymore. If you can hear or receive this, I just want you to be safe. I guess our beautiful moments died too soon; you are right; perhaps this is where we let go.

Lucius: I am safe and sound if you are listening to this. I'm getting closer to you, but you might be living a different life now, and i don’t even know where to find you. I'm sorry I didn't get back to you on time, and I’ve been talking to your ghosts. God only knows how many days, months, or years our communication has been severed. I don't even know which past version of your call recording I'm listening to now. All I know is I still remember the version of you when we were together, dreaming about the shared future we once wanted to build, and I love you.
