Louis:
Your sweet, sultry voice, filling the cavity in my mind.
As if you manufactured it that way.

Siglaine:
What way?

Louis:
The way you would wound up here, begging,
For my attention.
For my devotion.
For all that small piece of trust I had left.

Siglaine:
I do.
I am.
But...it's not that simple.

Louis:
What else there to think about?
I've smiled for you.
I've shed tears for you.
I've killed for you. No one else can say that, but I can.

Siglaine:
This tied up, monogamous, chaining my freedom.

Louis:
I have given you that.

Siglaine:
What, that small, conspicuous box of space you called freedom?
It's not enough!
It's not the same.

Louis:
Well then, tell me.
Show me,
How much how deep, how big, how extravagant
your freedom?

Feed me the knowledge, so that I could comprehend it.
For the sake of our...Whatever this is.

Siglaine:
We're just too different now.
We are like two puzzle pieces that doesn't fit.

Louis:
That's not what you said!
You told me time will never envy us.
What I am, or I was, will forever be sufficient.

Siglaine:
Maybe. But it was a lifetime ago.
Freedom comes with cost.
I just think that maybe what you have now is no longer relevant.

Louis:
Fine.
If that is what you wish.
