Keep it up. Keep it going. Where are you right now? You look around. There's nothing – it's all darkness. You have lived in the darkness, cut out from others' life. Why? Don't answer that. Straighten your head and look at me. Right at me. There you go, I'm right here, I will be here, you know I will be, even if you don't want me to.

"Who are you?"

I'm not answering that.

"I don't know who you are."

You don't know who I am? I have made you everything, Forest! Look, look, look ­– you've been here with me for years. I have waited for you to awaken, because you loved me when I was a kid! We were lovers, do you not remember?

"Why are my hands tied up?"

I have no idea what you're talking about, but don't change the subject! You know exactly who I am. I've been here forever, I've waited for so long, and this is what you give me? Before you used to be so sweet, so romantic, and now, why have I kept you here? How can you forget me?

"I have no idea what you're talking about, lady. Can you let me go? I ain't did nothing."

Forest! Forest, look, there, a light, right there! Look right there! Now, what do you see? Speak up, come on, come on, speak your little mouth like you always did! What do you see?

"Is – is that you ma'am?"

Yes, yes, Forest, that is me, that is me, you are right. But you do not recognize that teen aged face, do you? That visage does not rouse attraction in you? I remember when you used to hold me and say that you would die for me if you ever had to, and now – and now I don't know if you even love me anymore! Tell me, Forest, tell me if you love me!

"I have no love for those who would capture their lovers and tie them up!"

But this was your own doing! You always acted like you hated me when I was around you, but I loved you nonetheless! I still do, I still do, Forest. I don't know why you forgot me – there's tears in my eyes! Tears! I should not be crying about you, but why would you ever forget? I hate you, I hate you! You left me from this world, and now you're back, but you're not who you were before! You are dead! You are dead!
