"Remember that time when we threw a funeral for my Barbie doll?"

"Yeah. It was that week after your uncle died. That was an awesome ceremony. With your Teddy bear officiating and everything. What was his name again?"

"My uncle's or my teddy's?"

"Your teddy's, Sherlock."

"The Captain."

"Right. Such a pirate. Your mom was so pissed."

"And with good reason. We almost burned down the kiddie pool."

"Pff, it was a Viking funeral, what did she expect?"

"I think I didn't actually believe my doll would catch fire. When I opened the scorched box and saw it had melted horribly… I don't know, I'd thought the fire wouldn't get to her."

"That's because you were young and naïve. And hella stupid."

"And what about you? Has death made you all wiser?"

"I wouldn't know. If you expect some deep shit about some sort of enlightenment and insight, then start looking somewhere else."

"Fine, but… are you alone? Have you seen Rachel?"

"I'm only here when I'm with you. And you've never met Rachel, so no, I couldn't."

"I've seen her in photos."

"But you've no clue what her voice sounds like. What she looks like when she's angry. Or whether she laughs, or chuckles, or giggles."

"I guess you're right."

"…"

"…"

"But I do wish she was here with us."

"Me too. Everyone who's talked to me about her sounded so smitten with her."

"She did have that effect on people."

"I think she somehow lives on because of that."

"Maybe. While I'm stuck here in your dirty mind."

"There's nothing dirty about this. Though actually I've no idea where we are."

"Oh come on, you can't tell me you don't recognize these tracks."

"No, I do, but… Are these the exact same tracks that I know? I mean, if we were to follow them… where would they take us? Is this the exact same moment we lived in… Or is it something else?"

"There's your deep shit."

"I'm serious. The sun, the wind, the smell of the trees, I can feel everything. But how real is it?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"I'm… not sure."

"There's always one way to find out."

"And what is it?"

"…"

"Oh shit, I can hear it. Chloe, get up, the train is coming."

"…"

"Chloe! Come on, don't you fucking do this to me now! Wake up! Chloe! For fucking sake, wake up! CHLOE!"
