VALERIA: I wonder if this will ever end?
MARA: It has to.
VALERIA: It's been a while.
MARA: It took longer than I thought.
VALERIA: I meant the falling.
MARA: That too.
VALERIA: What did it say?
MARA: What?
VALERIA: It!
MARA: Wha... Oh, I don't know.
VALERIA: What do you mean?
MARA: I don't know.
VALERIA: I don't buy it. You heard nothing?
MARA: This is everything.
VALERIA: So, what did it say?
MARA: What?
VALERIA: You know!
MARA: It.
VALERIA: It!
MARA: I already forgot.
VALERIA: What is important?
MARA: As much as it could be.
VALERIA: The sun is out!
MARA: *groan* The sun is out.
VALERIA: How wonderful...
MARA: How awful.
VALERIA: By the way, I thought that's why you went?
MARA:: Went where?
VALERIA: To see it.
MARA: Wha...? Oh.
VALERIA: So that's why you went?
MARA: I went there.
VALERIA: And you didn't hear?
MARA: I heard everything.
VALERIA: You forgot.
MARA: It said something about the water.
VALERIA: What is the water?
MARA: It's waiting.
VALERIA: For us?
MARA: For everyone, and everything, to reach it.
MARA: I lied. The water said nothing. It wants nothing. It just is. And it moves. And it holds life.
MARA: But it doesn't mean a thing. The water doesn't care what it holds and it sustains, it just is.
VALERIA: I can't wait to reach it.
MARA: You're here, or you're there... nothing changes.
VALERIA: You should come with me.
MARA: Here we only fall. There, we will struggle.
VALERIA: What is life, if not struggle?
MARA: It is this. The eternal, vast nothing.
VALERIA: That is not life.
MARA: I would rather have this.
VALERIA: I think I see it!
MARA: See what?
VALERIA: You know what! The water!
MARA: It's about time.
VALERIA: Oh, wait, no, it was just that flock of birds.
MARA: If you insist.
VALERIA: Have you changed your mind?
MARA: I have my doubts.
VALERIA: About being here?
MARA: What is life if not a struggle for struggle's sake? I prefer to fall.
VALERIA: The fall will end. You have to choose.
MARA: I will, but I won't tell you when I do.
VALERIA: I think I'll call it a day.
MARA: Valerie...
VALERIA: I'm beat! *groan and sigh*
MARA: No, wait! What is that?
VALERIA: I don't know! It came out of the blue!
MARA: Could that be...
VALERIA: Is that?
MARA: It's out of this world.
VALERIA: I can't really put it into words, will you tell me?
MARA: Surprises aren't meant for telling.
VALERIA: Will you come with me?
MARA: Will you stay?
VALERIA: Please! Please come with me!
MARA: I... *splash*
*underwater sounds*
