[Justin, unaffected by the cold induced by sitting near the fountain that the City had seen fit to drop him into during winter, finally tires of waiting for what he’s convinced what must be a trick of the mind to dissipate and resolve itself into the nothingness of death. For a lack of any other distractions, he fumbles with the device he had found in his pocket earlier.

He doesn’t fully understand why he would bother hallucinating what resembles a camcorder. The brain is truly a strange and unfathomable thing.]

Am I dead yet?

[It’s a ridiculous question. He still exists enough to imagine things; the answer is clearly no.]

If not--if not, I hope this doesn't last long.

[That gives Todd pause, too - not quite as long, but a bit. He speaks softly - even for him - and carefully. Never pushing.]

Things can be different here. Maybe... after a while, you won't feel that way anymore.

Maybe.

[He doesn't believe it for a second, but Todd sounds sincere--too sincere to argue with.]

Thank you, Todd.
