[ Abel's gentle grip on the shard in his hand tightens as Matt speaks; there is such sincerity in these words that it's a little hard not to be moved by the sentiments behind them for how genuine they feel. his world, too, was much like the one described-- filled with people being born, people living their lives, building families, trying to survive and make the world around them beautiful (even if not all of them fit into such categories, of course). the world-- just like life-- is beautiful. and the world, just like life... isn't all beautiful.
death is a part of that. part of a natural cycle. but what Matt is suggesting... that is anything but, isn't it? ]
...Do you believe it's gone, sir? Your world?
[ does he believe what had been conveyed to them in that surreal, too-real dream? Abel is among those who has refused to accept its validity, stubbornly clinging to the hope that there are homes, worlds left to return to. that all the faces of this loved ones, those he cares for, remain.
but he knows he is in the minority. and he also understands how so grievous a loss is more than sufficient motivator for a man to accept what Matt has accepted; knowing if that is the case... it would go far in helping them reach some kind of common ground, even if they might not see eye-to-eye, in the end. ]
