Trust the issue

Story

The world will find a new way.

The world’s pretty much at its limit.

You said you adapted, the planet will do so as well. I’m sure it will!

No, you’re just delusional.

What else is there? Nothing but ho…

Emptiness. Pain, at least that’s what’s written all over your face. What’s the matter all of a sudden?

My wing… won’t make it. I am at the mercy of the sea. Your mercy.

And now you understand the helplessness we feel against your kind… felt against them.

No, because I know that I’m safe.

Safe? Out here? With your destined enemy?

As long as I’m with you.

If you have to breathe the void…

The air up there where I live is polluted as well.

Pollution is not what I meant. The water is completely out of its balance.

But it’s still beautiful.

If you’d seen the beauty of the sea with my eyes…

That’s something I envy you.

Then you’d know no one is safe right now. We’re all… lost.

You said you knew where to go and what to do. We aren’t lost.

So what? I lied. I’m the villain, remember?

Prove it. I trust you more than myself.

Is that so? How comes?

I lived a lie long enough.

You still don’t see me.

Change it.

Don’t make me responsible for you. Only you can do that yourself.
