Antithesis


*You have given me hope. You can't take it away from me just like that.
+...
*Or maybe you can.
+...
*Maybe you should.
+...
*Maybe that's how things work.
+Are you trying to attract my attention?
*Most probably.
+What is it that you are after?
*I'm not sure.
+But you are always 'not sure'.
*Correct. Let me think, then. ... Most probably, I want to be as special for you as you are for me.
+And why do you want that?
*I'm not sure.
+Don't start again.
*Maybe because that was how I've written the act. That's how things should be if we are to try to exist according to it.
+I don't understand. You never believe in dreams-coming-true kind of romantic nonsense.
*Correct. And this brings us back to the beginning of this conversation.
+So you claim that it's 'my' fault?
*Partly.
+And what do you want me to do about it?
*Almost nothing.
+So?
*Can I just sleep for some time?
+I don't know. Can you?
*If I try really hard.
+And what would you like me to do then when you are sleeping?
*Check if I'm still alive.
+Sure, how often?
*Once in a month is fine.
+And now you are alive, aren't you?
*I guess so.
+Good. (disappears)
