|ACT I|
|scene i|
-A dark room-
<EDEN is seen kneeling over JOHN>
EDEN: John, please tell me this is all some big joke.
EDEN: Please tell me this isn't real.
EDEN: Tell me this isn't happening.
EDEN: Tell me this is all a dream.
EDEN: I want to wake up.
EDEN: I want to wake up...
EDEN: Please...
[JOHN does not move]
EDEN: No...
[The curtains close of the stage]
[The lights turn on over the audience]
[Everyone applauds]
-Backstage-
JOHN: Wow, that was incredible!
EDEN: Hehe, thanks.
EDEN: I'm glad I didn't fuck up that last scene this time!
TEACHER: Language!
EDEN: (Shit, thought he couldn't hear me.)
[The teacher glares at EDEN]
EDEN: Okay, geez!
EDEN: Hey, John, wanna practice for the next one this weekend?
JOHN: Oh, um, I have plans...
EDEN: Oh...
EDEN: Never mind, then.
JOHN: Um, sorry.
JOHN: But hey!
JOHN: If the plans get canceled I'll be sure to tell you.
EDEN: Okay.

JOHN: :(

-JOHN's bedroom-
[JOHN sighs]
JOHN: Now what?
[JOHN falls back onto his bed]
[JOHN's phone vibrates]
{CHATLOG}
EDEN: Hey, John, I know it's kind of late and you're probably having a lot of fun or something right now, but I was wondering if you wanted to practice for the next play tonight? I could probably come over to your house if you're available.
JOHN: Jeez, that's a long text, hold on while I read that.
EDEN: Oh shit, sorry!
JOHN: It's no problem, don't say sorry about it.
JOHN: Oh!
JOHN: Yeah, my plans actually were just canceled.
JOHN: You can totally come over if you want.
EDEN: Okay, I will!
{END LOG}
-Later-
[Three knocks are heard]
[JOHN opens his door]
<Enter EDEN>
EDEN: Uh, hi.
JOHN: Hello.
EDEN: You have a, uh, cool room!
EDEN: Very... Bland.
JOHN: Oh, yeah, I guess my room does look a little empty right now.
JOHN: I recently had an epiphany of sorts, and did a bit of redecorating.
JOHN: My room is in some sort of middle state at the moment.
EDEN: An epiphany?
JOHN: Yeah.
EDEN: What about?
JOHN: ...
JOHN: I really don't want to talk about it right now.
EDEN: Oh, sorry.
JOHN: It's fine, I was the one who brought it up.
[A pause]
JOHN: Do you... want anything to eat?
JOHN: There's a bunch of shit in the fridge.
EDEN: Woah, you swear?
EDEN: That's... surprising.
JOHN: Why would it be?
EDEN: It's just... You're always following all of the rules at school.
JOHN: Yeah, because I take my education seriously.
JOHN: But we're teenagers.
JOHN: Name one teen who doesn't swear.
EDEN: Oh, I guess you're right.
JOHN: Do you want any food or not?
EDEN: No, I ate before coming here.
JOHN: Okay, should we just get started then?
EDEN: Uh, yeah.
[EDEN takes off their backpack and pulls out a stack of loose papers]
EDEN: Do you need a copy of the script?
JOHN: No, I already memorized it.
EDEN: Wow.
EDEN: Let's start with... Act two, scene five.
[EDEN clears their throat]
EDEN: (A forest.)
EDEN: (Enter Alex.)
EDEN: Oh Dirk, where have you gone?
EDEN: I thought this was what you wanted!
EDEN: (Dirk is seen sitting on a stump in a clearing)
EDEN: There you are!
EDEN: What is wrong, Dirk?
JOHN: Alex, you arrogant fool!
JOHN: Don't you realize what you have done?
JOHN: Your actions will cause the downfall of this kingdom!
EDEN: Dirk, whatever do you mean?
EDEN: All I did was give the king his crown!
JOHN: That was not the king at all!
EDEN: What?
JOHN: When I looked into the lake last night, I was able to see a vision of the future, and a vision of the past.
EDEN: What did you see?
JOHN: The man you talked to was the king's brother, pretending to be the king.
JOHN: But since you gave him the crown, he's the king now!
JOHN: He's going to kill us all!
EDEN: Oh no, what have I done?
JOHN: I just told you.
EDEN: So you did.
JOHN: Indeed, have you been listening?
EDEN: I have, Dirk.
JOHN: Then repeat what I have said.
EDEN: I shall.
JOHN: Begin.
EDEN: I have.
JOHN: You have not.
JOHN: I don't believe you have ever listened to what I tell you.
EDEN: It is not my fault.
JOHN: How so?
EDEN: I have been cursed!
EDEN: Cursed, I say!
JOHN: What do you mean?
EDEN: You see, I read a book found in the great hall last night.
EDEN: In that book I read the truth of our existence.
JOHN: And what would that be?
EDEN: Everything is beans!
EDEN: Our world consists only of beans, I say!
JOHN: (Wait, it really says that?)
EDEN: (Yeah, just keep going.)
JOHN: You spout nonsense.
EDEN: It's true, Dirk!
JOHN: Begone from here, utter fool.
EDEN: The bean man will return!
EDEN: His power is not gone from this universe!
JOHN: Begone!
JOHN: You have been of no help to me!
EDEN: Don't you understand?
EDEN: Don't you remember me?
EDEN: Josh, It's me!
EDEN: Please!
JOHN: Leave at once, you have become crazed!
JOHN: (For real, what is up with your lines? You even call me the wrong name.)
EDEN: (I don't know.)
EDEN: I shall leave if you do not accept the truth!
JOHN: Good!
EDEN: One day you will regret this!
JOHN: Good riddance!
EDEN: (Exit Alex.)
EDEN: (End scene.)
JOHN: Well, good job.
EDEN: Thanks!
EDEN: I feel like you delivered your lines much better than I did though.
JOHN: Well, I've already practiced mine a bunch.
EDEN: We only got the script this week, how have you already practiced this far in?
JOHN: I don't have much to do.
EDEN: Oh.
EDEN: I guess that makes sense.
JOHN: So, what next?
JOHN: Do you want to practice the next scene, or do that one again?
JOHN: Or do you want to skip around to another act?
JOHN: Or do you just want to take a break?
EDEN: Oh, yeah, a break would be nice.
[JOHN grabs his head with one hand]
EDEN: What's wrong?
JOHN: I don't know, there was suddenly a sharp pain in my head.
JOHN: I feel like... I'm forgetting something.
EDEN: Oh.
[EDEN's phone vibrates]
[EDEN reads the message]
EDEN: Hey, John?
JOHN: Yeah?
EDEN: Do you think I could stay at your house tonight?
JOHN: Uh, sure?
JOHN: You didn't really bring any of the stuff you need though.
EDEN: I'll be fine! I can just sleep on the floor.
JOHN: No, no.
JOHN: I know where another mattress is.
JOHN: I can go get that one.
EDEN: Thanks, John.
JOHN: Yeah.
<Exit JOHN>
EDEN: Hey, John?
EDEN: ...
EDEN: Good, he's gone.
[EDEN starts snooping around JOHN's room]
EDEN: Jesus, there really is nothing here...
[EDEN opens the closet to see it is empty]
EDEN: Where the fuck is all his stuff?
-Later-
<Enter JOHN>
[JOHN pulls a mattress into his room]
JOHN: Here, you can sleep on this.
EDEN: Thanks.
EDEN: Hey John, where the hell is all your stuff?
EDEN: This room is super empty.
JOHN: Oh, you know.
EDEN: No, I don't. That's why I asked.
JOHN: I, uh, kinda threw it all away?
EDEN: What?
EDEN: Why would you do that?
JOHN: Well, I kind of just realized, I didn't care about any of the junk I had.
EDEN: John, that seems like very unhealthy behavior.
EDEN: Are you okay?
JOHN: I'm fine.
JOHN: Just, my head has been hurting.
JOHN: But that doesn't have anything to do with this!
JOHN: I just don't need anything.
EDEN: ...
EDEN: You've been acting weird ever since you started hanging out with Emma.
JOHN: This has nothing to do with Emma at all!!
EDEN: Your friends have been worried about you for a while now.
JOHN: They are not my friends!
EDEN: Am I your friend?
JOHN: ...
EDEN: You don't have to answer that.
EDEN: We can talk about this later, I can tell this is upsetting you.
JOHN: Fine.
[JOHN and EDEN lay down in their respective beds]
JOHN: Can I tell you what I've been thinking?
EDEN: Yeah, of course.
JOHN: Something feels wrong.
JOHN: Like, when I look into space, I can feel something.
JOHN: Some rumbling I can only feel in my bones.
JOHN: Some impossible symphony only I can hear.
JOHN: I know there's something I've forgotten.
JOHN: And I started to remember it when you where saying those weird lines earlier.
JOHN: I felt... like I really was the character I was playing.
JOHN: But you weren't the other person.
JOHN: That was someone else.
JOHN: And I feel like...
JOHN: That play wasn't fiction.
JOHN: Like that was a life I've lived before.
EDEN: That can't be true though.
JOHN: I know.
JOHN: But...
JOHN: It feels more real than almost anything of this world.
EDEN: John, you are really starting to make me worried.
EDEN: The things you're saying are super troubling.
JOHN: I know.
JOHN: But...
JOHN: I'm not worried about it any more.
JOHN: I think...
JOHN: Everything will sort itself out in the end.
JOHN: So I'm just going with the flow.
JOHN: Even though I *KNOW* something absolutely terrible is about to happen.
EDEN: What?
JOHN: In my dreams...
JOHN: I can hear the voices so much more clearly.
JOHN: They tell me everything.
EDEN: John, you are starting to scare me.
JOHN: I hear their chirps and tongue clicks...
JOHN: And I understand, if for only a few seconds.
JOHN: Eden, I've never told this to anyone before in my life.
JOHN: And I don't think it was a good idea for me to tell you.
JOHN: But my headache just keeps getting worse.
JOHN: So I know it won't matter soon.
EDEN: John, I really think you need to talk to someone about this!
JOHN: No... Just, forget I said anything.
EDEN: ...
JOHN: Fuck, I shouldn't have told you.
JOHN: You know what, I'm just going to sleep.
JOHN: If you want to talk to me, you can in the morning.
EDEN: ...
EDEN: Fine.

EDEN: Finally awake?
[JOHN checks his phone]
JOHN: It's 5 in the damn morning, what are you talking about?
JOHN: And why are you even awake?
EDEN: Tell me first.
JOHN: I'm awake because I had a nightmare, you?
EDEN: I've been talking with people about what you told me last night.
EDEN: Everyone is worried about you, John.
JOHN: God, fuck this!
JOHN: Augh!
JOHN: I shouldn't have broken that fucking watch.
EDEN: Whoa, John.
EDEN: There's no need to be upset.
EDEN: I'm just trying to help you.
JOHN: Fuck off.
JOHN: This is bullshit.
JOHN: Auuuuggh, my fucking head!
JOHN: I need to get out of here!
JOHN: I need to *do* something!
EDEN: John, calm down.
EDEN: You're going to be okay.
JOHN: Shut up!
JOHN: Stop acting like this is something worth anything!
JOHN: *THIS* is nothing!
EDEN: What do you mean?
JOHN: I've *killed* people, Eden!
JOHN: *I'VE* died!!
JOHN: Me having some weird mental problem is NOTHING!!!
EDEN: ...
JOHN: I... I have memories of things I've never done.
JOHN: Memories of other versions of me dying.
JOHN: Memories of versions of me *wanting* to die.
JOHN: That, now THAT is fucked up, okay?!
JOHN: But *I'm* fine!
JOHN: Because I don't want to die!
JOHN: I'm going to die and I'm scared!
JOHN: I'm going to die and there's nothing I can do about it!
JOHN: But that's not what scares me.
JOHN: What scares me is that it won't stop.
JOHN: It won't just fade to black.
JOHN: There will be more suffering for who knows how long.
JOHN: That's what scares me.
[JOHN begins to cry]
EDEN: I really don't know what to say.
JOHN: I...

[EMMA takes a sip of tea]
ISAO: What brings you here, Emma-san?
EMMA: I have returned for more training, sensei.
ISAO: I had assumed as much.
ISAO: But why is more training needed?
ISAO: You graduated long ago.
EMMA: When I dream...
EMMA: I see these visions.
ISAO: I know of the visions, young one.
ISAO: Tell me what you have foreseen.
EMMA: The reckoning.
EMMA: The end of this world shall come sooner that we once thought.
ISAO: I see.
EMMA: I do not feel prepared for what is to come.
EMMA: So more training is required.
ISAO: I must say Emma-san, you have certainly matured.
ISAO: You are no longer your vulgar self I once knew.
EMMA: Oh shit, was I giving off that impression?
EMMA: Hell no man I still make dick jokes all the time.
ISAO: Oh... I see.
[EMMA takes another sip of tea]
EMMA: Hey what the fuck's in this?
EMMA: You put some drugs in here for sure.
ISAO: Oh, it is just something to help your meditation.
EMMA: Hell yeah.
EMMA: Dude I love drugs.
ISAO: I hope this is more irony.
EMMA: The cool thing about irony is that you can never tell.
ISAO: You worry me.
[EMMA laughs]
[EMMA takes another sip]
EMMA: Dude this tea is good as hell?!
ISAO: Okay, you've had enough.
[ISAO stands up]
[EMMA gulps down the rest of her tea]
EMMA: Take that, old man!
ISAO: Emma-san, why.
ISAO: That's way too much.
EMMA: Yeah right, I can take it.
[ISAO arranges pillows on the floor]
EMMA: Those pillows are hella inviting though...
ISAO: Please, sit.

EMMA: Oh, I must have written that.
EMMA: Okay...
EMMA: EMMA hits the...
EMMA: No, that's not how I do it...

EMMA: That's closer.
EMMA: Okay, so...
A part of the floor pops up, revealing a few pieces of paper
EMMA: Hmmm that was part of it...
EMMA: Guess I'll just read these.
[EMMA reads the papers]
EMMA: That was much better!
EMMA: Okay I remember where I am now.
EMMA: So, what was I doing again?
EMMA: Training...
EMMA: How the hell do I do that?
EMMA: Guess I need to practice this some more.
EMMA: Cool.
EMMA: Okay I've got that down for sure.
EMMA: And I can [].
EMMA: This time I've got it for sure.
[EMMA pats herself on the back]
EMMA: Sweet, that felt right.
EMMA: Shit, I don't remember what the fuck I'm doing at all.
EMMA: Maybe that was too much tea.
EMMA: Dammit, me!
EMMA: Uuuuuugh.
EMMA: How is this supposed to help?
EMMA: Fuck, I've got a headache.
EMMA: When did everything get so loud?
[Everything turns black]
EMMA: Okay, I did not say that.
EMMA: Who's there?
EMMA: I'm supposed to be alone here, asshole.

JOHN: Emma, everyone thinks I'm crazy.
JOHN: They listen to what I have to say and they say I'm insane.

EMMA: Why don't you tell me what you've told them, first.
EMMA: Then I'll see what's true.
JOHN: Okay.
JOHN: First of all, I'm going to die soon.
JOHN: I start to get a migraine whenever it comes closer, so that's why I'm so happy to see you!

JOHN: No, I'm not afraid of dying!!!

|EPILOGUE|
Cory wakes up and starts his day like any other. He gets out of bed and gets ready for an exciting day. Later he talk to his friend, Jade.
"Hello, Jade." he would say.
"Hello, Cory." she.
"Aren't you glad that we don't live forever?"
"No way, I would love to live forever!"
"But if you lived forever, you would just suffer. You would have to watch your friends die, time and time again."
"I see, I never thought about it like that."
"But we don't. So everything is okay."
What Cory said was true. Of course they didn't live forever! So they were happy. And everything was okay.
-The end-
