It's here that he remembers that long forgotten dream, that little hope he had once. One that was so fleeting, but it sparked the moment he watched her hold up Mid one day, and then lingered like a ghost, coming and going when he least wanted.
But he doesn't speak it. He dares not speak it because it is far too much, even for himself.]
...My mission wouldn't have changed, if that's what you were wondering. We could run all we want, but they would never give up, and the world was dying at a rate that there wouldn't be much left for us to live in. [A beat.] And that's not the world I wanted for you, either.
