Steve๏ผ
You... what? Impossible... How could you know?
George๏ผ
It doesn't matter how. You know it's a fact. You can feel it.
The words act as a key. Steve's eyes melt from stubbornness to deep sorrow and longing.
Steve๏ผ
I always felt she was near... these five years. I wanted to die to cross life and death to find her.
George๏ผ
But now you know! She is alive! Step down and live!
Steve takes a deep breath, exhaling years of pain. He walks back from the edge.
Steve๏ผ
Yes. I will find her. I want to live.
George smiles. The countdown on George's wrist stops abruptly.
Death (Ethereal voice)๏ผ
Chosen life because of truth. First contract: Complete.
The number freezes at: 02:12:08
Black mist gathers. Death appears.
Death๏ผ
The first soul has been awakened. You have completed the first step.
Death๏ผ
Get ready, George Miller. The second soulโis harder than you think.
