SWARG

Have you heard of what happened to
the constable?

WOGNIAN

I should've known you'd bring this
up. The war is not over for you, is
it?

SWARG

Only doing what it takes to survive
in this world. You've grown soft.
If you don't pay enough attention
it'll crush you.

WOGNIAN

I made it this far. I've changed.

SWARG

I didn't, yet here I am.

WOGNIAN

In a perfect world I'd advise you
to take responsibility for your
actions, you know.

SWARG

But we're not in a perfect world,
are we? The war never really ended,
Wognian. Not for us.

Swarg points at Wognian's chest.

SWARG (CONT'D)

It's still here. And it will never
let us go. You can keep telling
yourself this pretty story about
Neonila changing you, but it's not
true. We both know that. No matter
how many times you repeat it it's
not going to become reality.

WOGNIAN

It's the only reality I have.

SWARG

Some day your past will bite back,
too.

WOGNIAN

I'll face it then. I'm tired of
running like some coward.
