Rolo's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

Tick, tick, tick, tick.

You fall through space breathlessly, airlessly, your heart skipping a beat. When you land, everything is black for a moment before you rise and see who is with you and where you are...

"I don't want to lose what I have. I don't want to lose it. There's nothing at all else. So I can't lose it."

Then you need to try harder to keep it. That's why I want to fix that broken one.

"It's not something I have... it's gross. I don't like it." He picks at his knee joints.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

Do you mean being able to fix things?

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[dramatispersonae]

"The broken one. That's what I mean!"

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

What does he represent?

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[dramatispersonae]

"Hope."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

. . . You should never give up on hope.

"It's annoying."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

It's important.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[dramatispersonae]

"It's annoying, I said!!"

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

Just because you think it's annoying isn't a good reason to get rid of it. Everything can't be perfect all the time, and hope is . . . It's what gives you a reason to keep going.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

"Getting rid of annoying things is the only good reason to do anything..."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

You know that isn't true.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[dramatispersonae]

"Get rid of the annoying things and keep the things that feel good."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

Sometimes you need to deal with those annoying things to get to the good ones.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

"I don't want to..."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

No one really wants to . . . I don't always like having to do it myself, you know. But it's really worth it.

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[dramatispersonae]

"...I don't know."

Re: DOWNSTAIRS: The basement

[sharksong]

You can learn. I don't expect you to understand it right away. I know you're different.
