“Uh, you mean let it be destroyed with the fire? Um, sure, but I’d rather be completely certain that it gets torned down, you know?”
“….No, that’s not what I mean”
“Um, okay…? Is there something you are not okay with?”
“Why are we destroying it?”
“To end the loop, Ángel”
“But why? Coli is already dead. He won’t come back regardless”
“What… What are you implying”
“I said this before Ángel, this place is dangerous . Look what Coli has done”
“Yeah, but look what the doctor did! He cured all of his patients and lived on to have a long life!”
“I, I just”
“I dont think this house is all that bad!”
“It was made with love! With the want to protect!”
“Yes, but it can be taken advantage of by bad people, like Coli”
“But we are not bad people!”
“Ángel. What are you…?”
“Just think about it! If it wasn’t for this house, you wouldn’t be standing!”
“If it wasn’t for this house, I wouldn’t have died 3 times”
“But you got better! What if you had a random accident one day? There would be nothing to worry about in this house!”
“Wouldn’t you like that? Knowing for certain that everything will be okay?”
“Wh- What is this for? Do you want to turn this place into a hospital, too?”
“No! That’s not…!”
“Then what?! Why are you suddenly acting like you want to be inmortal too!?”
“It’s just…!”
“Oliver, I…”
“I don’t want to see you die again”
He’s crying
“Oh”
“…what can I say against that?”
“We might be fine now, but what if you get into an accident in the way back? Or in a few years? Or in a few decades?”
“I, I want you to be safe, I want us both to be safe”
“And this place can do that! We can age as much as we want! We’ll never have to worry about whether we live or die another day!”
“Everything would be okay”
“Ángel, I…
I’m sorry
I just. I dont want to live in a house where I got killed”
“But you lived! You are not dead! Isn’t that better?”
“I, I guess? Ángel we don’t know what this house can do, it’s dangerous, it’s eating us”
“It wants to help! It will give us one more chance if we need one!”
“Ángel so many people have died here, I don’t like these big hous es. You know this”
“I’ll make sure you are okay!”
“No, Ángel…”
“We, we are supposed to go see the chickens, right? I’m gonna show you around town, and you’ll get me to Argentina
I, I’ve never crossed the Andes you know
I’d really like to see it with you”
“… we could, maybe”
“Yeah! And, dont you want to see my apartment? My cat?”
“We could bring the cat here”
“You are not getting it…”
“Ángel, this place is horrible. Even with all the good intentions it was built in, terrible things happened. And I’ll always have that inside me”
“You don’t have to”
“How?”
“We loop one more time”
“…What?”
“Coli is dead. All we do is have a nice night. I invite you to the bar, and we start again, without all this pain in your memories”
“What about you…? You are going to remember. And I’ll forget you again.”
“I know.
But you won’t have to live with everything that happened here.
No more scars, no more painful memories
We can start again, like nothing bad ever happened”
“Like nothing ever happened? And you’d be okay with that?”
“… Not really
But I’d do it for you”
“You are being unfair, with yourself”
“I don’t want us to die, Oliver. I don’t want anyone to die anymore
They’ve died enough
I’m scared
I don’t know what the future holds for us, and I’m scared
I dont want us to end again
Please”
“…I promised to save Ángel from this place.
Was I too late?”
