larry and marco come up for air and look at each other and start to cheer, larry smiles and swims to the boat and pulls up marco "that was fucking crazy" larry says "yeah man now lets get this shit going  get far away from this hell hole" they sail off and began the journey home 

the next day comes around

larry and marco share stories of the past and laugh and smile, they cook up the fish they caught and began to eat. everything seems normal.

night time falls larry is on the deck looking out at the water and the bright moon, he tears up and reachs out to the moon.."so bright like her eyes, so cold like her heart yet it gives me such warmth, god i can hear her laughing with joy in the wind...jessica...god what am i doing?" larry drops to his knees and looks at the moon and smiles "this must be pay back for my sins" larry puts down his head and reachs for a star" so close but so far, ill find you no matter what it takes.
