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)
