Deca? Deca, where are you?

Declan I'm here don't panic.

Where? I can't see you?

I can't either but stay calm. What do you see?

I see trees and sky and stuff. I've never seen them before but I know about them. How?

I don't know yet. I think we're on Earth.

I don't remember leaving.

I don't either but I didn't really expect a warning.

Oh. Okay. I still can't see you.

How can we hear each other?

Are we talking out loud?

I think so. My mouth is moving.

Then yes.

So how come I can't see you?

Calm down, it's okay.

But I can't see you.

I know, I can't see you either.

Help me see you.

I can't. How about we just look around a bit. See how much we know. Does that sound good?

I suppose.

Okay. Just start walking. Tell me everything you see.

Okay. I see trees and sky and grass and dirt and flowers and clouds.

Good. Do you know what they are?

Yes, but I don't know how.

It's fine. Well figure it out. Keep walking.

Okay.

Do you see anything else?

I see hills and I see mountains in the distance. I see a river just up ahead. And rocks. ...I like the river.

Cool. What are you doing?

I'm sitting on a rock by the river and watching the water flow. It's beautiful. What are you seeing?

I see a lot of trees. A whole lot. I think I'm in a forest. I can't see the sky.

I'm sorry.

No, no, it's beautiful. I hear birds and the air smells goods. And there's a clear path so I don't get lost.

That's good. I wish I could see.

I wish I could see the river.

I wish we were together. I feel sad.

I do too, bud. It's okay.

Why is it okay? I don't feel good.

I think it's okay because we will find each other. So it isn't good now, but it will be, so it's okay.

That makes sense. Thank you.

You're welcome. Ooh! I see a break in the forest!

You do? Do you see a river?

No not yet but I'll find you, don't worry.

Okay. I'm throwing little rocks in the river. I like the splashes for some reason.

That's cool. I'll try when I get there.

You should. It's hypnotic. Oh. I like that word. Hypnotic.

That's good.

What is?

You like a word.

Oh. Do you like a word?

I think I like... Introspect.

I like that one too.

Oh! This field is beautiful, Declan. I like it.

You found the field?

Yes. I'm trying to find the river now.

I'm looking for you.

I see you.

I see you.
