I’m sorry Harper, I really am. One of the great questions of the universe is ‘why do bad things happen to good people?’

I wasn’t talking about Brendan, Harper.

Yeah, well, I’m not a good person so I guess it doesn’t matter.

You’re wrong Harper, you have a good heart.

You wouldn’t be saying that if you’d known me on Earth.

Yes I would. Earth is in the past now, you did what you had to, to stay alive. All I can judge you on is what I’ve seen, if you

But you wouldn’t have done the things I did.

In your position? I don’t know what I’d have done.

Look let’s cut the crap we both know I’m not Rev or Trance or some heaven-sent angel. I’m a dirty low-down engineer with dirty low-down morals. That’s all there is too it.

You’re too hard on yourself. There is more to you than your past.

You know where to find me, if you ever need to talk Harper.

Dylan left. Brendan was dead. Harper was Harper. You can only change so much.
