Text

START: TOBY God, I’ve created a monster. What are you reading now? (Peaking at the cover) Maurice? But you’ve read that already.
LEO Would you ever want to live back then?
TOBY A hundred years ago? No thank you.
[... …]
END: TOBY I want you because I know what it’s like to want something more than what you’ve been given. I want you because you once asked me to rescue you without knowing that the night we met, I desperately needed rescuing, too.
