Finn I’m still here. You don’t lose me. I am harder to ignore now, aren’t I? You disregarded me, wasting your life away bathing in finite mortal pleasures.   Now this is it. This. Empty, eternal darkness. Forever.
Roo You don’t know that’s what this is-
Finn Of course that’s what this is! Maybe ne’d’ve gotten something or other if ne could be arsed in nir life. But ne didn’t. And now we’re he-
Roo Ne wasn’t bad!
Finn No, ne wasn’t. Ne wasn’t bad, ne wasn’t good. Ne was nothing. Ne did nothing. And now here we are, some sort of purgatory or… something.
Roo But ne deserves more than this-
Finn What ne deserves doesn’t matter. The universe isn’t fucking fair, get used to it.
Roo But… it… But ne died and we’re still here. So there’s an afterlife. So there has to be a god or.. something out there arbiting justice and all that!
Finn That’s not a word-
Roo Maybe this is a test! Or maybe we’re just in here until ne gets moved to nir afterlife.
Finn Wouldn’t that be great, heaven being more goddamn bureaucracy.
Roo A-anyways, you can’t assume things. Be hopeful. Have some faith.
Finn Faith didn’t get nim anywhere. And you don’t know this is an afterlife anyway, maybe ne’s just in a coma or maybe this is just a final stretched out dream as ne slowly dies.
Roo Do you even remember how ne died? I’d’ve thought that would’ve been an important detail.
Finn Vaguely. I feel like ne hit nir head. (pause) Speaking of that, ne never answered me.
Roo Ne has been a bit quiet. Why is that?
Finn I’m betting on coma.
Roo You’re just being pessimistic.
Finn That’s effectively my job. (shouting into the rest of the room) Brooke? Brooke?
Roo That’s not going to work.
Finn Brooke? Now who’s being pessimistic?
Roo You. I’m being smart.
Finn Yeah, ‘cause you were definitely nir intelligence.
