Leaving
Get up.
Why?
You need to go.
Why?
It won’t hold.
I can hold on..
No.
Why not?
It won’t hold you.
It doesn’t have to, I’m holding on.
NO! It won’t hold YOU.
I don’t.. understand..
I’m staying here, you’re leaving.
But we can’t split up, I need you here.
If you stay, we’ll both die.
But I need you.
I’ll go insane without you.
I’ll call, or uh.. write?
No, I can’t leave you!
You’re not leaving me.
You’re saving me.
Please don’t make me do this.
Goodbye..
Your phone keeps going off.
I think it’s a scam caller.
They seem pretty insistent, don’t you want to answer?
Alright, one sec.
Hello?
Hello? Oh thank god, I’ve been waiti-
Who was that?
No one.
