I'm fine.
Thank you, Christina, but I'm fine. Really. I knew there was a possibility for disaster when I asked him to go to Mars. Yes, please take care of that, and then feel free to take the rest of the day off. I won't be needing you for the rest of the afternoon. I'm sorry, what did you say again? Ah. No, I think I'll go home. There's nothing more for me to do here until we get more information. I'll keep my cell with me in case you need to get in touch.
But don't need to get in touch. Glad she didn't hear that last bit. Did I say it out loud? Can't remember now. She's out of ear shot so it doesn't matter. Need to pull myself together. He can survive anything; he's my big brother. Even a cave-in on Mars. Operations assured me they have enough oxygen to survive at least 21 hours. Surely the rescue crew can reach them by then.
I knew there was a possibility for disaster when I asked him to go to Mars, didn't I? Of course I did. I asked him anyway, because the job needed to be done. And he was the one to do it. Is the one to do it. Not dead yet. Not dead. Not dead. Not dead. If he died I don't know what I'd do.
I need to get out of here. Take a walk. Where to go, though? Everything reminds me of Milliardo.
Need a drink. That'll help. Maybe. No, nothing helps. Should have asked someone else. Someone I didn't care about. But he was the only one who could do the job. Can do the job. No one else can do it, and I need him to...need him to be my knight in shining armor. Knight on a terrible dragon.
Are you all right, Princess?
Princess? If I'm a princess, then what are you? A knight on a terrible dragon?
I'm a prince of the stars.
Prince of the stars. I needed a prince of the stars to go to Mars. The Prince of Mars. Nothing but dirty work crews. Blue collar world. No princes there. Needed a prince. Oh god, what will I do if he dies? Can't deal with this.
Can't deal with this.
Can't deal with this.
Can't deal with this.
Have to get out of here. Where's my car? Oh, there it is. Why won't the key fit in the lock? Stupid key. Oh, upside down. Should have kept Pagan and the limo, but it looked too pretentious to the media. Always playing for the media now. What is the media doing to help my brother? I miss you, Milliardo. I love you. Please don't die. Don't die. Don't die. Don't die.
Don't die like our parents. That's how they died, isn't it? Palace burned, structure weakened. Building collapsed. Collapsed and fell on them. Caved in. Were they struck by debris and killed first? Or were they alive, buried under rubble for days and days before they succumbed to the smoke? Awful way to die either way. Awful way...
And it's my fault. Will he die blaming me? Haunting me? I deserve it. Should have sent someone else. Someone I didn't care about. Kill someone else's brother.
Need to get my thoughts off this. Can't deal. Can't deal. Radio. That's it, I'll turn on the radio. Wait, why can't I turn left here? Always could before. No, I'm on the wrong street. Where am I? None of these buildings looks familiar. Got to think. Oh, I hate this song.
Through the lies and the why's and the sighs, every last hope dies...
Stupid song. Got to turn the station. More stupid music. And so many commercials. Oh, the news. No, that's a bad idea. Shouldn't hear the news. They might mention...
Oh...
Oh my god.
Oh my god, how could they say that? Don't say that! Don't say that, you bitch, there's still hope! He's not dead yet! How can they say it's over? There's 21 hours of air left. Why aren't the crews going to dig any further?! Got to do something to get them working again. Got to think. Got to...wait, that car isn't stopping—
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god.
Oh my god, what have I done? What have I done? That was worse than during the war. Nearly died. What do I do? Never been in an accident since...
What do I do? What do I do? I wonder whether the other driver's okay. Seems to be. My head hurts. What's that? Radio still works. What? What did they say? I can't believe it. Can't believe it. Is it true? Please tell me it's...
She said it again. It must be true. Must be true. Everyone's okay. Everyone on Mars is okay. Saved them all. Even my brother. Oh my god, what a relief. What a relief. What a...
Huh? I'm sorry, officer. What did you say? Blood? Oh, it's mine. I guess I...I guess I hit the steering wheel, and...
No, I'm okay. Everyone's okay. They got them all out. Even my brother. He's not dead. He's fine, officer. He's fine. I didn't kill him. He's fine. Just fine. And I'm fine now. I'm fine now.
I'm fine now.
