“Wake up, please…”

“She’s dead. Let her rest.”

“No, there’s… there’s a way to revive her… or at least keep her soul in this world.”

“With the stone? You’re mad! What will you do with her?”

“There’s probably a way to resurrect her. If we could keep her just for a bit longer-…”

“You’re going mad! You don’t even know if it’s possible!”

“No! I can feel it! There is a way!”

“Get away from her! I’ll perform her rites of passage!”

“NO!”

“Is this truly what you want?”

“No, not really.”

“Then why do you continue?”

“Why do you keep talking to me?”

“Because I am you.”

“Nonsense. Don’t be a fool. I am not you.”

“Out of the people memorialize by all, only you remain.”

“So?”

“Don’t you feel lonely?”

“No. I won’t be, once I revive them all.”

“With necromancy?”

“No… with this.”

“Ah… the stone. So beautiful…”

“Don’t touch it. We don’t know how this truly works.”

“Yet you’re trying to achieve the impossible with this?”

“This… thing… shouldn’t even exist in the first place. Only with the unfathomable would the impossible be conceived.”

“You dropped it.”

“Ah, it must be my fatigue…”

“Rest, old man.”

“No. I must continue working. She’s waiting…”

“You old fool.”
