There we were, Leonore and I, lying in our special place where we loved to go.
- Johnny... Did you ever wish you could choose who you fall in love with?
- What do you mean?
- Having control over it. Having the option of choosing a... Soulmate who'd be more convinient for being by your side. Without having... Lies, or the burden that a forbidden love involes.
- Hm... That doesn't matter. If I had the chance of choosing, I would've chosen you anyways.
- I'm glad to hear that you would have chosen me if you had the opportunity.
- And I'm glad I didn't have to choose. If I did it, you would be nothing more that something else I wanted. But it's not about what I want, but what I need; And what I need, is you.
- I'm... Just scared that you could leave me and disappear...
- What? No... No, honey. Listen, I'll never do something like that. I would rather be dead than leaving you, and nothing is ever going to tear us apart...
... Not even the end of the world.
I wish I had never said those words.
