"Will!" Darak knocks on his door.
Kortex answers the door. "My name isn't Will anymore... It's Kortex remember?"
Darak walks in and sits down. "Ya I remember but Will is so much fancier sounding on this planet!"
Kortex goes and grabs a wine glass. "Ya... But them again why would I want to be reminded of when I was weak." Kortex pours himself a drink. "Want anything Darak?"
"Just a normal beer or whatever they are on this planet." Darak thinks about what Kortex said. "What do you mean when you were weak?"
Kortex tosses Darak a beer and sits back down taking a sip from his wine. "On my home planet I would of never been able to kill someone yet just this one year I've killed at least 15 people."
Darak laughs. "Come on... I know that's not the real reason!"
Kortex takes another sip from his wine. "Fine. But if you want the real definition you have to grab me normal drink... this wine tastes terrible!"
Darak gets up and grabs Kortex a drink. "Why do you even have wine? Most people know that you hate it." Darak hands Kortex the drink.
Kortex opens it and takes a huge drink. "What I meant by that, Is that when I was William I wasn't able to talk to people, I wasn't able to get a date, Hell it took me five years just to propose to my girlfriend..." At this Kortex teared up. "T-They all think I'm dead... Here I am living my dream life... yet they all think I'm dead..."
Darak sets his drink down. "You know I've been waiting for you to realize that. When I met you, you were about to throw a ring into a lake."
Kortex takes the ring out of his pocket. "This ring... It was supposed to mean that I was going to be married soon. Yet all it is here is a painful memory of something I can't return to."
Darak laughs. "Yet you keep a hold of it. You just told me about you being weak yet if someone truly thought they were weak then they would forget about there past already!"
Kortex throws the ring against a wall. "I would forget the past if I didn't want to return to it!"
Darak raises an eyebrow. "Now there's the Kortex I met." Darak laughs. "The one who wanted to return to his family, friends, and soon to be wife."
Kortex grabs his wine glass and smashes it over Darak's head. "Shut up you bastard!"
Darak grabs his head and laughs. "You know you hit me a lot harder with that tiny ring. Guess bringing back memories makes you weak!"
Kortex grabs Darak and throws him to the ground. "Fuck you! You bastard!" Kortex stops crying. "It's not remembering the memories that makes someone weak! It's forgetting them!"
Darak gets up, grabs his drink, and sits down. "Finally! God damn took you long enough to realize that!" Darak drinks and then laughs. "Calm down, pick up that ring of yours, and relax."
