"You know....it's thanks to her that all of this has happened."
"Hey!!"
"And you too, Apple.
I mean, I wouldn't have met nearly as many people without her.
I would still be in my shell.
Hiding underneath my brother's dead shadow."
"I heard about your brother. Terribly sorry."
"Wait, you have?
What did you hear?"
"Only what my dad told me.
Their was an explosion, and then a leak…..then next thing you know….a Towns underwater."
"But the dam has never broken before. Your father said it was unbreakable."
"That's why it's a mystery as to who did it.
To this day, he still won't talk about what actually happened."
"Huh.
...….I'd like to ask him myself."
"Darius, that's a great idea."
"What?"
"Why don't we both ask him tomorrow. He never speaks of it, but if someone who has had ties with the explosion were to ask, say….a dear friend of mine; he would have to answer.
You get your closure, and I get my rest from Nightmares."
"I don't know.
Would he even remember?"
"What do you mean?
He was there. Came home after the mess was cleaned up and told me all about it."
"He was, you say?"
"Yeah. Oh….this is perfect. We can…."
"Elwin."
"Yes?"
"Tomorrow is your day, not mine."
"I know, but you are also my day, and will sit right next to me at the Table. You on one side, and Ruby on the other."
"Yes, you will be sitting in a chair, but not at the table."
"Darius, stop with all these riddles.
What's happening?"
"I wish I knew, Elwin.
I really wish I knew."
