28 — Ben

Ki

Flo, I’m happy that you found Ha! This is a miracle, a beautiful miracle!

Flo

Thanks, Ki! Yes, it’s a miracle. I wish Ba were here too! If this had happened when he was at my mom’s place, we’d all be together now.

Ki

Yes. I’m sorry for you.

...

I don’t know where my husband was when this happened.

He liked hiking, fishing; maybe he’s somewhere alive? I wish it so much! But you’ll tell me that it’s improbable, that he would have showed up already. I know.

Flo

You know, Ki, probabilities are just mathematics; your husband’s situation is unique. In reality, we just don’t know.

Ki

Oh, Flo, it makes me so happy to hear you say that! I so much want to believe he’s alive.

Flo

I sincerely wish for you that he is. This horror should never have been.

Ki

No! What a stupidity.

Happily, we are here. And we have Ré’s leadership. We have now counted almost three thousand survivors. They need us!

Flo

Three thousand! We were a billion!

Ki

I know, this is horrific. But there are three thousand Zumiens alive that need us. We’re the only ones that can operate the production facilities. It is also a miracle that we’re here for them!

These people need a leader, a strong leader that can mobilize them behind the vision of a new world. Ré can give back these people a purpose, a future. An inspiring future for your daughter. Something beautiful to hope for, to build.

Flo

A better world, hopefully.

Ki

Yes, Flo, a better world. But for this, we need to be united behind Ré. He’s the only one that has the leadership to achieve this.

What worries me is Ben. He doesn’t see the importance of leadership. He doesn’t have it, and he opposes and contradicts Ré too often. If he does not align, it’ll be chaos, anarchy!

Please, help me make him understand. We need to unite for our future — for your daughter’s future!
