“I wonder now, with everything said and done, if things would have been different had I remembered what the Tree had told me. Would I have made the same decisions, the same mistakes? Where would I be, had I remembered? Had I listened? I have learned in my short time here on this world that we as humans are all capable of a great many things, our minds able to process so much. Too much, really. But our greatest curse, our greatest folly, if you will, is our ability of hindsight. Of regret. Oh, Seven. How I wish I would have known.”

“I struggled not to laugh at the brand-new bottle of lube in his left hand and the unopened box of condoms in his right. He watched me, his expression dark. “Just buy those?” I asked lightly. He nodded once. “Had it all worked out in your mind, did you?” He nodded again. “Have you ever fucked a man, Seven?” He shook his head, his right hand squishing the box of condoms as he tightened his grip. “And… this is what you want?” I looked at his face then, watching for any signs of doubt.

“If your life is filled with mistakes, you should know that you are not looking at events, people, philosophies, in short, everything from a distance, and not gaining a more comprehensive view and not gaining more accurate information about where things are going!

And though I've lived in a world where you didn't exist for most of my life, I don't believe that's a world I can be in any longer. It started with the sun, and it was warm. And then came the sea, and it was unlike anything I'd ever seen before. It was followed by this place, this island so mysterious and wonderful. But it was you who gave me peace and joy like I've never had before. You gave me a voice and a purpose. Nothing would have changed if it hadn't been for all of you. I believe they've listened to me, but the only reason I knew what to say at all was because of what you taught me. We're not alone. We never have been. We have each other. If I were to leave again, I would wish I were here. I don't want to wish anymore. If you'll have me, I would like stay. For always.”
