Where the Heart Is

Num breathes hard and shakes slightly, still feeling the effects of having died earlier. Despite that, he refuses to break eye contact with Marino.

MARINO: You'd... dare...

ÍSJA: Even if Lani was using us, I don't think I'd care.

Ísja's eyebrows are furrowed as he looks to Marino. Num looks at him in surprise.

ÍSJA: You're awful. I'd do anything to get away from you, too.

He puts a hand on his chest as he turns toward Lani with a smile. Num smiles as well.

ÍSJA: Besides... If she'd asked to come with us, we would've said yes.

Lani tears up.

Marino's grip on the harmonica tightens.

MARINO: How utterly idiotic. Our Star will arrive at any minute to bear witness to their final sacrifice... and all you can talk about are "ifs" and "buts" that will no longer matter.

Cracks have appeared directly above Marino. Some kind of tendrils are coming out of it, seemingly pulling it open further.

MARINO: It seems we'll be drowning three tonight instead of one.

The hole created above Marino has grown wide and it shines brightly. More tendrils come out of it.

cue that one picture that's like "look up at the sky"
