I. Hello
...Close.
"Who are you?"
"Who am I? Who are you?"
...Who am I to you to know.
"C'mon, tell me your name."
"What's it to you?"
"I just wanna know you."
...Really?
"Sands."
"Sands?"
"My last name."
...Puzzling.
"What about your first name, you know, your actual name?"
...Honestly?
"I don't know."
"You don't know?"
...Maybe I just don't want you to know.
"Alright. Hello, Sands, my name is Sara."
II. How
"You know, I once stole someone's car, and now it's sitting in my garage, waiting for me to ride in it, disappearing into the trees out of Minnesota?"
...Liar.
"You bought that car."
"Maybe."
...Hmph.
"Maybe I am. But maybe I did steal it too."
...Truth?
"Why are you telling me this?"
"Oh, I don't know, maybe, so that you wanna come with me? Away from this place?"
...Away.
"Why?"
"You don't want to?"
"I like this place."
...Liar.
"How?"
III. Are
"Penny for your thoughts?"
"Why?"
"You're no fun."
"Why does it have to be fun?"
"Why live if you're not having fun?"
...Stupid.
"Mmm."
"You hate me."
...Surprise.
"I don't."
"Liar."
...I do.
"You're a terrible liar."
...Am I.
"Am not."
"Are."
IV. You
"Do you ever wish to be reborn so that you can change yourself? Be a different you than what you are today?"
...I wish.
"Have you?"
"Yeah, sometimes I want to, but sometimes I don't."
...Why.
"What you are today is not what you were. Aren't things always changing?"
"I suppose that's true. I'm not who I was before."
"I guess I wanna change because I hate who I am now."
...Never think that.
"I don't."
"Hm?"
"I don't hate you."
...Pure honesty.
"Thank you."
...Hmph.
"Do you ever have anything you like? Anything at all?"
"Mmm?"
"C'mon."
...Quick. Dodge.
"Do you?"
...Don't listen.
"Oh, I do--"
...Don't.
"You."
V. Alright
...Hurts.
"Don't you feel anything?"
...Silence.
"Aren't you mad?"
...So mad.
"I'm fine."
"Is that so?"
...Liar.
"Yeah."
"Alright."
VI. Goodbye
"Where are you going?"
...Don't trust.
"I'm sorry."
"Why?"
...Why.
"Goodbye, Sands."
...Don't break.
