Night time is their time, the time when no one else can be around. Gene-and Mai, always Mai-would slip off together and-

search out for the dreams of Naru-Oliver, Noll-and they would stay there, in those dreams, in Naru's dreams, the three of them, together.

Because Noll and Gene were forever connected-

connected-

and Gene and Mai were forever linked-

linked-

and Naru had always cared for Mai.

(Why wouldn't they be together, those three, us three, sitting on the train ride to oblivion? In that star lit realm of drifting souls and ever passing, beautiful time?)

And so they three, them three, us three (for has there ever been anyone else?) set off into the world to find their place (along the outer edges of reality, were what was real was not and was not was real and-) and they found it.

And even if (Hey, hey-

Yes?

Don't you think we're immortal?) they lost themselves sometimes, they pushed on. They pushed on and on and on and on and-

(It is the sin of man to believe we are infallible)

They found it. Home. A safe place outside of their dreams. (Perhaps that is why-

No)

And so they stayed and they grew and they were-

(First alive and then dead and then neither and then both)

For there is no such thing as movement.

AN: I honestly have no idea what this is. Inspired by "sine qua non" by 1000faces.
