“Thank you. I appreciate your support, because I’m starting to believe it. For the first time in my life I feel like I have a big goal, you know? One that I may be capable of achieving, and that will make a great difference to the world.”
“That’s right, you can do it.”
“Yes, I can. But I also want to apologize for it, Angeline. I made you suffer, and I guess it’s just the beginning, if I really intend to get where I want. You are too close to my goal, so it’s hard not to think about you in my struggle. I’m so sorry for it.”
“Don’t be. And don’t make me suffer. If I’m going to face some tough situations for your cause, at least don’t leave me alone. Try to make things easier for me, OK?”
“So, you forgive me?”
“Of course I do. We’re in this together. Even if one of us wants to go separate ways, we can still help each other out, can’t we?”
“I don’t think I’ll ever want to leave you.”
“I don’t want to either, not now, at least. But so much can change until you reach your goal, whatever it is. And I hope you do change! If you don’t, then what was the purpose of your goal, after all?”
“To have you back. You and all the others.”
“To have me back? Why, I’m right here! There’s nowhere to go, anyway, look at this room.”
“I’m sorry.”
“Don’t be. I love you, Colin.”
“And I love you too.”
He had waited years to have the chance of saying those words to Angeline, and he made an effort to control his trembling voice, mimicking her confidence. She crawled on the cushions to get near Colin, to hug him and kiss him. They cuddled together, hearing the World Voice's unending lament, penetrating every cell of the entire world, no matter how well guarded they were. Angeline would meltdown in no time, and Colin prepared for it. His final goal required sacrifices.
She contorted herself after a while, suffering the first rashes of her skin’s decay. Colin embraced and soothed her, doing his best to make it less painful. She did suffer and she did meltdown, flowing on the floor with the walls and ceilings themselves which had just lost the negotiation against the World Voice. Her image showed up vividly in Colin’s memory, fueled by his recent meeting with his beloved one and their first kiss.
“I’ll find Mae and get our world back, Angeline. I promise you.” He stood up and climbed the stairs to join OOOO who waited for him like a curious puppy outside.
