Prologue: World of New
The sun is setting; giving the darkened room a deep orange hue.
Comfortably in the living room, there are two. The girl turns to the boy.
"Tell me again, please."
The silent boy opens his mouth to whisper his soft reply.
"Yes."
To him, she returns her face to her knees.
"Thank you."
The boy's lips curled slightly upwards.
"Love always."
Feet dangling over the dilapidated pier, there sit another two. Mist hangs over them as a sullen blanket.
He glances at her and stares a moment too long. She lifts her head from the screen of her mobile phone, but her eyes are still hidden. She tosses the phone into the water, watching it sink as it played its last tune.
"What is it?"
A pause. He asks her.
"Do you?"
She knows that every second that she waits to speak can mean something about her answer, but she hesitates and then murmurs.
"But of course."
The sun falls into the infinite sea. Together the two look on to nothingness.
